Preface

Crafting machines that can learn from data to perform intelligent decisions is becoming the dominant paradigm in many areas of technology. Acquiring the necessary skill set to perform this task will definitely boost your career. Machine Learning Techniques for Text aims to help you in this endeavor, focusing specifically on text data and human language. The book will show you how to analyze text data, get started with machine learning, and work effectively with the Python libraries often used for these tasks, such as pandas, NumPy, matplotlib, seaborn, and scikit-learn. You will also have the opportunity to work with state-of-the-art deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch.

More than 5,000 organizations count on O’Reilly

O’Reilly covers everything we've got, with content to help us build a world-class technology community, upgrade the capabilities and competencies of our teams, and improve overall team performance as well as their engagement.

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
