Natural Language Processing in Action: Understanding, analyzing, and generating text with Python - Softcover
Synopsis
Summary
Natural Language Processing in Action is your guide to creating machines that understand human language using the power of Python with its ecosystem of packages dedicated to NLP and AI.
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. All examples are included in the open source `nlpia` package on python.org and github.com, complete with a conda environment and Dockerfile to help you get going quickly on any platform.
About the Technology
Recent advances in deep learning empower applications to understand text and speech with extreme accuracy. The result? Chatbots that can imitate real people, meaningful resume-to-job matches, superb predictive search, and automatically generated document summaries--all at a low cost. New techniques, along with accessible tools like Keras and TensorFlow, make professional-quality NLP easier than ever before.
About the Book
Natural Language Processing in Action is your guide to building machines that can read and interpret human language. In it, you'll use readily available Python packages to capture the meaning in text and react accordingly. The book expands traditional NLP approaches to include neural networks, modern deep learning algorithms, and generative techniques as you tackle real-world problems like extracting dates and names, composing text, and answering free-form questions.

About the Reader
This book requires a basic understanding of deep learning and intermediate Python skills.
About the Authors
Hobson Lane, Cole Howard, and Hannes Max Hapke are experienced NLP engineers who use these techniques in production for profit and fun: contributing to social-benefit projects like smart guides for people with blindness and cognitive assistance for those with developmental challenges or suffering from information overload (don't we all?).

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Description Modern NLP techniques based on machine learning radically improve the ability of software to recognize patterns, use context to infer meaning, and accurately discern intent from poorly-structured text. In Natural Language Processing in Action, readers explore carefully chosen examples and expand their machine's knowledge which they can then apply to a range of challenges. Key Features Easy-to-follow Clear examples Hands-on-guide Audience A basic understanding of machine learning and some experience with a modern programming language such as Python, Java, C++, or JavaScript will be helpful. About the technology Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the discipline of teaching computers to read more like people, and readers can see examples of it in everything from chatbots to the speech-recognition software on their phone. Hobson Lane has more than 15 years of experience building autonomous systems that make important decisions on behalf of humans. Hannes Hapke is an Electrical Engineer turned Data Scientist with experience in deep learning. Cole Howard is a carpenter and writer turned Deep Learning expert. Modern NLP techniques based on machine learning radically improve the ability of software to recognise patterns, use context to infer meaning and accurately discern intent from poorly-structured text.
