Real-World Natural Language Processing

 Real-world Natural Language Processing shows you how to build the practical NLP applications that are transforming the way humans and computers work together.

In Real-world Natural Language Processing you will learn how to:

• Design, develop, and deploy useful NLP applications
• Create named entity taggers
• Build machine translation systems
• Construct language generation systems and chatbots
• Use advanced NLP concepts such as attention and transfer learning

 Real-world Natural Language Processing teaches you how to create practical NLP applications without getting bogged down in complex language theory and the mathematics of deep learning. In this engaging book, you’ll explore the core tools and techniques required to build a huge range of powerful NLP apps, including chatbots, language detectors, and text classifiers.

 Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
