The Handbook of NLP with Gensim

By: Chris Kuo

Overview of this book

Navigating the terrain of NLP research and applying it practically can be a formidable task made easy with The Handbook of NLP with Gensim. This book demystifies NLP and equips you with hands-on strategies spanning healthcare, e-commerce, finance, and more to enable you to leverage Gensim in real-world scenarios. You’ll begin by exploring motives and techniques for extracting text information like bag-of-words, TF-IDF, and word embeddings. This book will then guide you on topic modeling using methods such as Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) for dimensionality reduction and discovering latent semantic relationships in text data, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) for probabilistic topic modeling, and Ensemble LDA to enhance topic modeling stability and accuracy. Next, you’ll learn text summarization techniques with Word2Vec and Doc2Vec to build the modeling pipeline and optimize models using hyperparameters. As you get acquainted with practical applications in various industries, this book will inspire you to design innovative projects. Alongside topic modeling, you’ll also explore named entity handling and NER tools, modeling procedures, and tools for effective topic modeling applications. By the end of this book, you’ll have mastered the techniques essential to create applications with Gensim and integrate NLP into your business processes.

Using the model to score new documents

In this book, I have kept the perspective for model implementation. Our work does not stop at the modeling step but also considers the implementation. In the previous section, we completed a model. I will now show you how to use it to score new documents. I keyed in three new documents in the new_texts list. The first one is a technology news article stating that the new Windows operating system will be released, the second one is also a technology news article, and the third one is an economic news article:

new_texts = ['The new Windows operating system will be released',
'The system uses the most difficult technologies and techniques',
'The U.S. consumer prices dropped for the first time in ten months']

Important note

Any text preparation procedures that are applied to the training data will be applied to the new documents as well. We will perform text preprocessing on the new documents.
