Description

Harness the power of Natural Language Processing (NLP) to overcome real-world text analysis challenges with this recipe-based roadmap written by two seasoned NLP experts with vast experience transforming various industries with their NLP prowess. You’ll be able to make the most of the latest NLP advancements, including large language models (LLMs), and leverage their capabilities through Hugging Face transformers. Through a series of hands-on recipes, you’ll master essential techniques such as extracting entities and visualizing text data. The authors will expertly guide you through building pipelines for sentiment analysis, topic modeling, and question-answering using popular libraries like spaCy, Gensim, and NLTK. You’ll also learn to implement RAG pipelines to draw out precise answers from a text corpus using LLMs. This second edition expands your skillset with new chapters on cutting-edge LLMs like GPT-4, Natural Language Understanding (NLU), and Explainable AI (XAI)—fostering trust in your NLP models. By the end of this book, you'll be equipped with the skills to apply advanced text processing techniques, use pre-trained transformer models, build custom NLP pipelines to extract valuable insights from text data to drive informed decision-making.

Who is this book for?

This updated edition of the Python Natural Language Processing Cookbook is for data scientists, machine learning engineers, and developers with a background in Python. Whether you’re looking to learn NLP techniques, extract valuable insights from textual data, or create foundational applications, this book will equip you with basic to intermediate skills. No prior NLP knowledge is necessary to get started. All you need is familiarity with basic programming principles. For seasoned developers, the updated sections offer the latest on transformers, explainable AI, and Generative AI with LLMs.

What you will learn

  • Understand fundamental NLP concepts along with their applications using examples in Python
  • Classify text quickly and accurately with rule-based and supervised methods

Throughout the book, I appreciated the infusion of both traditional NLP and GenAI concepts in almost every chapter of the book, which helps in ‘grounding’ GenAI concepts in foundational knowledge (get the pun? :))Here're my top takeaways from the book:📖 The traditional NLP content in Chapters 1 and 3-6 closely mirrors what I studied and utilized during college, making it a relevant resource for college students in similar NLP/AI classes.🏫 The dedicated Chapter 8 on Transformers is likely my top pick as a common topic for interview prep across multiple levels of recent grads and experienced AI practitioners.📊 Among all the content on LLMs, the 2 topics that especially stood out to me were the coding examples on:(1) Running an LLM locally, for quick experimentation and for college students with limited access to cloud resources(2) Building an Agent workflow: The ease of initializing built-in tools to perform actions like internet search as a reasoning step is honestly quite refreshing, due to the democratization of typical Function Calling capabilities that it demonstrates.More than anything, it's especially fun to get a refresher on foundational concepts and then position these in context of using modern tools that help build workflows at a higher level of abstraction.

This book is a practical guide for solving NLP problems using Python. The book contains over 60 easy-to-follow recipes that help readers learn everything from basic NLP tasks like tokenization and lemmatization to more advanced topics, including transformers and large language models.The book is useful for a wide range of readers, from data scientists to software developers, because it explains concepts clearly and provides code examples that can be used right away. One of the highlights is that it covers the latest trends, like GPT models and transformers, which makes the book relevant in today’s fast-changing NLP field.Even though the book covers complex topics, it keeps the explanations simple, making it easy to understand and apply. The focus on Python and its libraries, like spaCy and Hugging Face, may limit its appeal for those looking for more general NLP approaches across different platforms.Overall, I found this book to be an excellent resource, motivating me to work on modern NLP projects with Python. It serves both as a learning guide and a useful reference for practical applications.
