CHAPTER 10Optimizing Natural Language Processing Models

Natural language data is everywhere. For a regular person, speech and text are the predominant forms of communication and information consumption. Machine learning/artificial intelligence solutions, therefore, are practically everywhere as well. The spam classification model protects us from malicious e-mails. The news recommendation models consider the content and our preferences to rank the most relevant articles. The virtual assistant (Siri/Google) understands our commands to compose and send an email on your behalf. Your favorite translation app instantly transcribes and translates speech to text in another language as we speak. We are surrounded by machine learning/artificial ...

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.
