A Glance of Natural Language Understanding System

These years, there has been widely speared applications employing Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies, including question answering system, Machine reading comprehension, summarization, dialogue, autocompletion, machine translation, etc.From 2013 to 2014, the applications of various neural network models on NLP have gradually increased, among which the most widely used are: convolutional neural networks (CNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN), and structural recurrent neural networks (SRN). Since the text is ordered, the sequential structure of RNN (recurrent neural network) makes it the   […]

Abstractive text summarization with transformer-based models

Text summarization is a text generation task, which generates a concise and precise summary of input texts. There are two kinds of summarization tasks in Natural Language Processing, one is the extractive approach, which is to identify the most important sentences or phrases in the original text and combine them to make a summary. The more advanced approach is the abstractive approach, which generates new phrases and sentences to represent the information from the input text.

Python’s doctest: Document and Test Your Code at Once

Are you interested in writing usage examples for your code that work as documentation and test cases simultaneously? If your answer is yes, then Python’s doctest module is for you. This module provides a testing framework that doesn’t have too steep a learning curve. It’ll allow you to use code examples for two purposes: documenting and testing your code. Apart from allowing you to use your code’s documentation for testing the code itself, doctest will help you keep your code […]

What went wrong with Tay, the Twitter bot that turned racist?

Of late, we’ve been hearing about Twitter bots in the news due to the whole saga of Elon Musk buying Twitter. One of the reasons the deal took so long to pan out was Musk’s concerns about the number of spam bots running rampant on the platform. While Musk believes that bots make up more than 20% of accounts on Twitter, Twitter states that the number of bots on its platform is marginal. So, what’s this Twitter bot thing? A […]
