LiveLessons - Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing, 2nd Edition

An intuitive introduction to processing natural language data with TensorFlow-Keras deep learning models.

Overview

Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing LiveLessons, Second Edition, is an introduction to building natural language models with deep learning. These lessons bring intuitive explanations of essential theory to life with interactive, hands-on Jupyter notebook demos. Examples feature Python and Keras, the high-level API for TensorFlow 2, the most popular Deep Learning library. In early lessons, specifics of working with natural language data are covered, including how to convert natural language into numerical representations that can be readily processed by machine learning approaches. In later lessons, state-of-the art Deep Learning architectures are leveraged to make predictions with natural language data.
