This is the code repository for Hands-On Python Natural Language Processing, published by Packt.

Explore tools and techniques to analyze and process text with a view to building real-world NLP applications

This book provides a blend of both the theoretical and practical aspects of Natural Language Processing (NLP). It covers the concepts essential to develop a thorough understanding of NLP and also delves into a detailed discussion on NLP based use-cases such as language translation, sentiment analysis, etc. Every module covers real-world examples.

This book covers the following exciting features:

• Understand how NLP powers modern applications
• Explore key NLP techniques to build your natural language vocabulary
• Transform text data into mathematical data structures and learn how to improve text mining models
• Discover how various neural network architectures work with natural language data
• Get the hang of building sophisticated text processing models using machine learning and deep learning
• Check out state-of-the-art architectures that have revolutionized research in the NLP domain

All of the code is organized into folders.

The code will look like the following:

set_of_words = set()
for word in preprocessed_corpus[0].split():
 set_of_words.add(word)
vocab = list(set_of_words)
print(vocab)

Following is what you need for this book: This NLP Python book is for anyone looking to learn NLP’s theoretical and practical aspects alike. It starts with the basics and gradually covers advanced concepts to make it easy to follow for readers with varying levels of NLP proficiency. This comprehensive guide will help you develop a thorough understanding of the NLP methodologies for building linguistic applications; however, working knowledge of Python programming language and high school level mathematics is expected.

With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 2-11).
