Book DescriptionHarness the power of Natural Language Processing (NLP) to overcome real-world text analysis challenges with this recipe-based roadmap written by two seasoned NLP experts with vast experience transforming various industries with their NLP prowess.
You’ll be able to make the most of the latest NLP advancements, including large language models (LLMs), and leverage their capabilities through Hugging Face transformers. Through a series of hands-on recipes, you’ll master essential techniques such as extracting entities and visualizing text data. The authors will expertly guide you through building pipelines for sentiment analysis, topic modeling, and question-answering using popular libraries like spaCy, Gensim, and NLTK. You’ll also learn to implement RAG pipelines to draw out precise answers from a text corpus using LLMs.
This second edition expands your skillset with new chapters on cutting-edge LLMs like GPT-4, Natural Language Understanding (NLU), and Explainable AI (XAI)—fostering trust in your NLP models.
By the end of this book, you'll be equipped with the skills to apply advanced text processing techniques, use pre-trained transformer models, build custom NLP pipelines to extract valuable insights from text data to drive informed decision-making.What you will learn

Understand fundamental NLP concepts along with their applications using examples in Python
Classify text quickly and accurately with rule-based and supervised methods
Train NER models and perform sentiment analysis to identify entities and emotions in text
Explore topic modeling and text visualization to reveal themes and relationships within text
Leverage Hugging Face and OpenAI LLMs to perform advanced NLP tasks
Use question-answering techniques to handle both open and closed domains
Apply XAI techniques to better understand your model predictions

Who this book is forThis updated edition of the Python Natural Language Processing Cookbook is for data scientists, machine learning engineers, and developers with a background in Python. Whether you’re looking to learn NLP techniques, extract valuable insights from textual data, or create foundational applications, this book will equip you with basic to intermediate skills. No prior NLP knowledge is necessary to get started. All you need is familiarity with basic programming principles. For seasoned developers, the updated sections offer the latest on transformers, explainable AI, and Generative AI with LLMs.
