C# Programming for Natural Language Processing: Build Smart Text Processing Applications Using C# and NLP Techniques
Book Description:
Unlock the full power of Natural Language Processing (NLP) with C# — and build the next generation of intelligent text applications!
In C# Programming for Natural Language Processing, Pit Hilda delivers a comprehensive, hands-on guide for developers looking to combine the robust capabilities of C# with the fascinating world of NLP. Whether you're a software engineer, data scientist, or technology enthusiast, this book provides everything you need to design and implement advanced text-processing systems, intelligent chatbots, automated summarizers, language detection tools, and much more — all using the power of C# and .NET frameworks.
From setting up your development environment to building real-world NLP solutions, this guide walks you step-by-step through foundational concepts and applied techniques, including:

• Core NLP principles: tokenization, stemming, lemmatization, vectorization, and named entity recognition.
• Feature engineering and machine learning for text classification, sentiment analysis, and keyword extraction.
• Building full-scale applications such as chatbots, document clustering models, and speech-to-text analyzers.
• Integrating state-of-the-art tools like ML.NET, OpenNLP, LemmaSharp, Stanford NLP, and cloud-based services such as Azure Cognitive Services.
• Deploying and optimizing C# NLP applications for cross-platform and cloud environments with .NET 6 and Azure.
• Introducing cutting-edge techniques with transformers and large language models (LLMs) using C# interop with Python libraries.

Through practical projects, clear explanations, code examples, and real-world scenarios, this book empowers you to transform unstructured text into actionable insights — all while sharpening your C# programming skills for the AI-driven future.
