<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Modern NLP techniques based on machine learning radically improve the ability of software to recognise patterns, use context to infer meaning and accurately discern intent from poorly-structured text. Here, readers explore carefully chosen examples and expand their machine's knowledge which they can then apply to a range of challenges.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Summary</b> <p/><i>Natural Language Processing in Action</i> is your guide to creating machines that understand human language using the power of Python with its ecosystem of packages dedicated to NLP and AI. <p/>Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. <p/><b>About the Technology</b> <p/>Recent advances in deep learning empower applications to understand text and speech with extreme accuracy. The result? Chatbots that can imitate real people, meaningful resume-to-job matches, superb predictive search, and automatically generated document summaries--all at a low cost. New techniques, along with accessible tools like Keras and TensorFlow, make professional-quality NLP easier than ever before. <p/><b>About the Book</b> <p/><i>Natural Language Processing in Action</i> is your guide to building machines that can read and interpret human language. In it, you'll use readily available Python packages to capture the meaning in text and react accordingly. The book expands traditional NLP approaches to include neural networks, modern deep learning algorithms, and generative techniques as you tackle real-world problems like extracting dates and names, composing text, and answering free-form questions. <p/><b>What's inside</b> <p/><ul><li>Some sentences in this book were written by NLP!
