Introduction to Computational Linguistics and Dependency Trees in data science

Introduction In recent years, the amalgam of deep learning fundamentals with Natural Language Processing techniques has shown a great improvement in the information mining tasks on unstructured text data. The models are now able to recognize natural language and speech comparable to human levels. Despite such improvements, discrepancies in the results still exist as sometimes the information is coded very deep in the syntaxes and syntactic structures of the corpus. Example – Problem with Neural Networks For example, a conversation […]

Comprehensive Guide to Text Summarization using Deep Learning in Python

Introduction “I don’t want a full report, just give me a summary of the results”. I have often found myself in this situation – both in college as well as my professional life. We prepare a comprehensive report and the teacher/supervisor only has time to read the summary. Sounds familiar? Well, I decided to do something about it. Manually converting the report to a summarized version is too time taking, right? Could I lean on Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques […]

Top 6 Open Source Pretrained Models for Text Classification you should use

Introduction We are standing at the intersection of language and machines. I’m fascinated by this topic. Can a machine write as well as Shakespeare? What if a machine could improve my own writing skills? Could a robot interpret a sarcastic remark? I’m sure you’ve asked these questions before. Natural Language Processing (NLP) also aims to answer these questions, and I must say, there has been groundbreaking research done in this field towards bridging the gap between humans and machines. One […]

Build a Natural Language Generation (NLG) System using PyTorch

Overview Introduction to Natural Language Generation (NLG) and related things- Data Preparation Training Neural Language Models Build a Natural Language Generation System using PyTorch Introduction In the last few years, Natural language processing (NLP) has seen quite a significant growth thanks to advancements in deep learning algorithms and the availability of sufficient computational power. However, feed-forward neural networks are not considered optimal for modeling a language or text. This is because the feed-forward network does not take into consideration the […]

6 Practices to enhance the performance of a Text Classification Model

Introduction A few months back, I was working on creating a sentiment classifier for Twitter data. After trying the common approaches, I was still struggling to get good accuracy on the results. Text classification problems and algorithms have been around for a while now. They are widely used for Email Spam Filtering by the likes of Google and Yahoo, for conducting sentiment analysis of twitter data and automatic news categorization in google alerts. However, while dealing with enormous amount of text […]

An NLP Approach to Mining Online Reviews using Topic Modeling (with Python codes)

Introduction E-commerce has revolutionized the way we shop. That phone you’ve been saving up to buy for months? It’s just a search and a few clicks away. Items are delivered within a matter of days (sometimes even the next day!). For online retailers, there are no constraints related to inventory management or space management They can sell as many different products as they want. Brick and mortar stores can keep only a limited number of products due to the finite space […]

Introduction to StanfordNLP: An Incredible State-of-the-Art NLP Library for 53 Languages (with Python code)

Introduction A common challenge I came across while learning Natural Language Processing (NLP) – can we build models for non-English languages? The answer has been no for quite a long time. Each language has its own grammatical patterns and linguistic nuances. And there just aren’t many datasets available in other languages. That’s where Stanford’s latest NLP library steps in – StanfordNLP. I could barely contain my excitement when I read the news last week. The authors claimed StanfordNLP could support more […]
