Caption generation is the challenging artificial intelligence problem of generating a human-readable textual description given a photograph. It requires both image understanding from the domain of computer vision and a language model from the field of natural language processing. It is important to consider and test multiple ways to frame a given predictive modeling problem […]
Automatic photo captioning is a problem where a model must generate a human-readable textual description given a photograph. It is a challenging problem in artificial intelligence that requires both image understanding from the field of computer vision as well as language generation from the field of natural language processing. It is now possible to develop […]
Deep Learning for NLP Crash Course. Bring Deep Learning methods to Your Text Data project in 7 Days. We are awash with text, from books, papers, blogs, tweets, news, and increasingly text from spoken utterances. Working with text is hard as it requires drawing upon knowledge from diverse domains such as linguistics, machine learning, statistical […]
The encoder-decoder model provides a pattern for using recurrent neural networks to address challenging sequence-to-sequence prediction problems, such as machine translation. Encoder-decoder models can be developed in the Keras Python deep learning library and an example of a neural machine translation system developed with this model has been described on the Keras blog, with sample […]
Movie reviews can be classified as either favorable or not. The evaluation of movie review text is a classification problem often called sentiment analysis. A popular technique for developing sentiment analysis models is to use a bag-of-words model that transforms documents into vectors where each word in the document is assigned a score. In this […]
The encoder-decoder architecture for recurrent neural networks is proving to be powerful on a host of sequence-to-sequence prediction problems in the field of natural language processing such as machine translation and caption generation. Attention is a mechanism that addresses a limitation of the encoder-decoder architecture on long sequences, and that in general speeds up the […]
The bag-of-words model is a way of representing text data when modeling text with machine learning algorithms. The bag-of-words model is simple to understand and implement and has seen great success in problems such as language modeling and document classification. In this tutorial, you will discover the bag-of-words model for feature extraction in natural language […]
You need datasets to practice on when getting started with deep learning for natural language processing tasks. It is better to use small datasets that you can download quickly and do not take too long to fit models. Further, it is also helpful to use standard datasets that are well understood and widely used so […]
The promise of deep learning in the field of natural language processing is the better performance by models that may require more data but less linguistic expertise to train and operate. There is a lot of hype and large claims around deep learning methods, but beyond the hype, deep learning methods are achieving state-of-the-art results on […]
Natural Language Processing, or NLP for short, is broadly defined as the automatic manipulation of natural language, like speech and text, by software. The study of natural language processing has been around for more than 50 years and grew out of the field of linguistics with the rise of computers. In this post, you will […]
