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.

Installing Keras

To install Keras, perform the following steps:

  1. Since Keras requires another deep learning framework to behave as the backend, you'll need to download another framework first, and TensorFlow is recommended.

    To install TensorFlow for your platform, click on https://www.tensorflow.org/install/.

  2. Once the backend has been installed, you can install Keras using either the following command:

    sudo pip install keras

    Alternatively, you can install it from the Github source, clone Keras using this:

    git clone https://github.com/keras-team/keras.git

  3. Install Keras on Python using the following commands:

    cd keras

    sudo python setup.py install

    You need to configure the backend now. Refer to the following link for more information: (https://keras.io/backend/)
