Overview

In Video Editions the narrator reads the book while the content, figures, code listings, diagrams, and text appear on the screen. Like an audiobook that you can also watch as a video.

"Learn both the theory and practical skills needed to go beyond merely understanding the inner workings of NLP, and start creating your own algorithms or models."
Dr. Arwen Griffioen, Zendesk

Natural Language Processing in Action is your guide to creating machines that understand human language using the power of Python with its ecosystem of packages dedicated to NLP and AI.

Recent advances in deep learning empower applications to understand text and speech with extreme accuracy. The result? Chatbots that can imitate real people, meaningful resume-to-job matches, superb predictive search, and automatically generated document summaries—all at a low cost. New techniques, along with accessible tools like Keras and TensorFlow, make professional-quality NLP easier than ever before.

Natural Language Processing in Action is your guide to building machines that can read and interpret human language. In it, you’ll use readily available Python packages to capture the meaning in text and react accordingly. The book expands traditional NLP approaches to include neural networks, modern deep learning algorithms, and generative techniques as you tackle real-world problems like extracting dates and names, composing text, and answering free-form questions.

Inside:
  • Some sentences in this book were written by NLP! Can you guess which ones?
  • Working with Keras, TensorFlow, gensim, and scikit-learn
  • Rule-based and data-based NLP
  • Scalable pipelines
This book/course requires a basic understanding of deep learning and intermediate Python skills.

Hobson Lane, Cole Howard, and Hannes Max Hapke are experienced NLP engineers who use these techniques in production.

Provides a great overview of current NLP tools in Python. I’ll definitely be keeping this book on hand for my own NLP work. Highly recommended!
Tony Mullen, Northeastern University–Seattle
