Natural Language Processing with Python Quick Start Guide

This is the code repository for Natural Language Processing with Python Quick Start Guide, published by Packt.

Going from a Python developer to an effective Natural Language Processing Engineer

What is this book about?

NLP in Python is among the most sought after skills among data scientists. With code and relevant case studies, this book will show how you can use industry-grade tools to implement NLP programs capable of learning from relevant data. We will explore many modern methods ranging from spaCy to word vectors that have reinvented NLP.

This book covers the following exciting features:

Understand classical linguistics in using English grammar for automatically generating questions and answers from a free text corpus
Work with text embedding models for dense number representations of words, subwords and characters in the English language for exploring document clustering
Deep Learning in NLP using PyTorch with a code-driven introduction to PyTorch
Using an NLP project management Framework for estimating timelines and organizing your project into stages
Hack and build a simple chatbot application in 30 minutes
Deploy an NLP or machine learning application using Flask as RESTFUL APIs

Instructions and Navigations

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.

The code will look like the following:

url = 'http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1661.txt.utf-8'
file_name = 'sherlock.txt'

Following is what you need for this book: Programmers who wish to build systems that can interpret language. Exposure to Python programming is required. Familiarity with NLP or machine learning vocabulary will be helpful, but not mandatory.

With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-8).
