Natural Language Processing: A Quick Introduction to NLP with Python and NLTK

Natural language processing (NLP) is about developing applications and services that are able to understand human languages. In this perfect Natural Language Processing Tutorial, we will use Python NLTK library. Natural language toolkit (NLTK) is the most popular library for natural language processing (NLP) which was written in Python and has a big community behind it. This is the Ultimate guide to learn Natural Language Processing (NLP) basics, such as how to identify and separate words, how to extract topics in a text.

From the back cover.

This comprehensive guide covers both statistical and symbolic approaches to Natural Language Processing. This is a good introduction to all the major topics of computational linguistics, which includes automatic speech recognition and processing, machine translation, information extraction, and statistical methods of linguistic analysis. Indeed, Natural Language Processing is the scientific discipline concerned with making the natural language accessible to machines, and it is a necessary means to facilitate text analytics by establishing structure in unstructured text to enable further analysis. This guide is a fundamental reference for any computational linguist, speech scientist or language data scientist. The explanations and illustrations in this short book are very intuitive and simple. The author helps you understand what natural language processing is. This is basically a theory touching on the fundamentals of natural language processing. The author then explains to you what the NLTK library is and what it does. The rest of the book is about implementing natural language processing tasks using the NLTK library in Python. Samuel Burns uses a combination of theory, Python code examples, and screenshots showing the expected outputs for various program codes.
