Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the subfield in computational linguistics that enables computers to understand, process, and analyze text.

Get well-versed with traditional as well as modern natural language processing concepts and techniques

Key Features

Perform various NLP tasks to build linguistic applications using Python libraries

Understand, analyze, and generate text to provide accurate results

Interpret human language using various NLP concepts, methodologies, and tools

Book Description

This book caters to the unmet demand for hands-on training of NLP concepts and provides exposure to real-world applications along with a solid theoretical grounding.

This book starts by introducing you to the field of NLP and its applications, along with the modern Python libraries that you'll use to build your NLP-powered apps. With the help of practical examples, you'll learn how to build reasonably sophisticated NLP applications, and cover various methodologies and challenges in deploying NLP applications in the real world. You'll cover key NLP tasks such as text classification, semantic embedding, sennt analysis, machine translation, and developing a chatbot using machine learning and deep learning techniques. The book will also help you discover how machine learning techniques play a vital role in making your linguistic apps smart. Every chapter is accompanied by examples of real-world applications to help you build impressive NLP applications of your own.

By the end of this NLP book, you'll be able to work with language data, use machine learning to identify patterns in text, and get acquainted with the advancements in NLP.
