2 Deep learning and language: The basics

This chapter covers

Highlighting the fundamental architectures of deep learning: multilayer perceptrons and spatial and temporal filtering
Introducing deep learning models for natural language processing

After reading this chapter, you will have a clear idea of how deep learning works in general, why it is different from other machine learning approaches, and what it brings to the field of natural language processing. This chapter introduces you to some Keras concepts and their implementation details through examples.
