Synopsis
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.
