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.

Install Python on macOS X

To install Python on macOS X, do the following:

  1. Open the terminal by holding command and space (CMD + Space), typing terminal in the open search box, and hitting enter.
  2. Install Xcode through the command line by running xcode-select --install.
  3. The easiest way to install Python 3 is using homebrew, which is installed through the command line by running ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)".
  4. Add homebrew to your PATH environment variable. Open your profile in the command line by running sudo nano ~/.profile and inserting export PATH="/usr/local/opt/python/libexec/bin:$PATH" at the bottom.
  5. The final step is to install Python. In the command line, run brew install python.
  6. Note that if you install Anaconda, the latest version of Python will be installed automatically.
