Chapter 1. Introduction to Natural Language Processing

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is an important tool for understanding and processing the immense volume of unstructured data in today's world. Recently, deep learning has been widely adopted for many NLP tasks because of the remarkable performance that deep learning algorithms have shown in a plethora of challenging tasks, such as, image classification, speech recognition, and realistic text generation. TensorFlow, in turn, is one of the most intuitive and efficient deep learning frameworks currently in existence. This book will enable aspiring deep learning developers to handle massive amounts of data using NLP and TensorFlow.

In this chapter, we will provide an introduction to NLP and ...
