Overview of this book

Learning how to solve natural language processing (NLP) problems is an important skill to master due to the explosive growth of data combined with the demand for machine learning solutions in production. Natural Language Processing with TensorFlow, Second Edition, will teach you how to solve common real-world NLP problems with a variety of deep learning model architectures. The book starts by getting readers familiar with NLP and the basics of TensorFlow. Then, it gradually teaches you different facets of TensorFlow 2.x. In the following chapters, you then learn how to generate powerful word vectors, classify text, generate new text, and generate image captions, among other exciting use-cases of real-world NLP. TensorFlow has evolved to be an ecosystem that supports a machine learning workflow through ingesting and transforming data, building models, monitoring, and productionization. We will then read text directly from files and perform the required transformations through a TensorFlow data pipeline. We will also see how to use a versatile visualization tool known as TensorBoard to visualize our models. By the end of this NLP book, you will be comfortable with using TensorFlow to build deep learning models with many different architectures, and efficiently ingest data using TensorFlow Additionally, you’ll be able to confidently use TensorFlow throughout your machine learning workflow.

Visualizing Attention patterns

Remember that we specifically defined a model called attention_visualizer to generate attention matrices? With the model trained, we can now look at these attention patterns by feeding data to the model. Here’s how the model was defined:

attention_visualizer = tf.keras.models.Model(inputs=[encoder.inputs, decoder_input], outputs=[attn_weights, decoder_out])

We’ll also define a function to get the processed attention matrix along with label data that we can use directly for visualization purposes:

def get_attention_matrix_for_sampled_data(attention_model, target_lookup_layer, test_xy, n_samples=5):
    
    test_x, test_y = test_xy
    
    rand_ids = np.random.randint(0, len(test_xy[0]), 
    size=(n_samples,))
    results = []
    
    for rid in rand_ids:
        en_input = test_x[rid:rid+1]
        de_input = test_y[rid:rid+1,:-1]
                        
        attn_weights, predictions = attention_model.predict([en_input...
