Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing

By: Karthiek Reddy Bokka, Shubhangi Hora, Tanuj Jain, Monicah Wambugu

Overview of this book

Applying deep learning approaches to various NLP tasks can take your computational algorithms to a completely new level in terms of speed and accuracy. Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing starts by highlighting the basic building blocks of the natural language processing domain. The book goes on to introduce the problems that you can solve using state-of-the-art neural network models. After this, delving into the various neural network architectures and their specific areas of application will help you to understand how to select the best model to suit your needs. As you advance through this deep learning book, you’ll study convolutional, recurrent, and recursive neural networks, in addition to covering long short-term memory networks (LSTM). Understanding these networks will help you to implement their models using Keras. In later chapters, you will be able to develop a trigger word detection application using NLP techniques such as attention model and beam search. By the end of this book, you will not only have sound knowledge of natural language processing, but also be able to select the best text preprocessing and neural network models to solve a number of NLP issues.

Neural Networks

Often neural networks and deep learning are terms that are used interchangeably. They do not mean the same thing, however, so let's learn the difference.

As mentioned before, deep learning is an approach that follows the same principle as machine learning, but does so with more accuracy and efficiency. Deep learning systems make use of artificial neural networks, which are computing models on their own. So, basically, neural networks are a part of the deep learning approach but are not the deep learning approach on their own. They are frameworks that are incorporated by deep learning methods.

Fig 3.2: Neural Networks as a part of the deep learning Approach

Artificial neural networks are based on a framework inspired by the biological neural networks found in the human brain. These neural networks are made of nodes that enable the networks to learn from images, text, real-life objects, and other things, to be able to execute tasks and predict things accuracy...
