Natural Language Processing with AWS AI Services

By: Mona M, Premkumar Rangarajan

Overview of this book

Natural language processing (NLP) uses machine learning to extract information from unstructured data. This book will help you to move quickly from business questions to high-performance models in production. To start with, you'll understand the importance of NLP in today’s business applications and learn the features of Amazon Comprehend and Amazon Textract to build NLP models using Python and Jupyter Notebooks. The book then shows you how to integrate AI in applications for accelerating business outcomes with just a few lines of code. Throughout the book, you'll cover use cases such as smart text search, setting up compliance and controls when processing confidential documents, real-time text analytics, and much more to understand various NLP scenarios. You'll deploy and monitor scalable NLP models in production for real-time and batch requirements. As you advance, you'll explore strategies for including humans in the loop for different purposes in a document processing workflow. Moreover, you'll learn best practices for auto-scaling your NLP inference for enterprise traffic. Whether you're new to ML or an experienced practitioner, by the end of this NLP book, you'll have the confidence to use AWS AI services to build powerful NLP applications.

Setting up a Yelp review text analytics workflow

In this section, we will walk you through how you can build this out for a Yelp reviews dataset or any social media analytics dataset by following the steps using a Jupyter notebook and Python APIs:

  • Setting up to solve the use case
  • Walking through the solution using a Jupyter notebook

The setup steps will involve the steps to configure Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles and the walkthrough notebook will walk you through the architecture. So, let's get started.

Setting up to solve the use case

If you have not done so in the previous chapters, you will first have to create an Amazon SageMaker Jupyter notebook and set up IAM permissions for that notebook role to access the AWS services we will use in this notebook. After that, you will need to clone the GitHub repository (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Natural-Language-Processing-with-AWS-AI-Services), go to the Chapter 07 folder, and open the chapter07...
