Natural Language Processing in the Real World: Text Processing, Analytics, and Classification

Natural Language Processing in the Real World is a practical guide for applying data science and machine learning to build Natural Language Processing (NLP) solutions. Where traditional, academic-taught NLP is often accompanied by a data source or dataset to aid solution building, this book is situated in the real world where there may not be an existing rich dataset.

This book covers the basic concepts behind NLP and text processing and discusses the applications across 15 industry verticals. From data sources and extraction to transformation and modelling, and classic Machine Learning to Deep Learning and Transformers, several popular applications of NLP are discussed and implemented.

This book provides a hands-on and holistic guide for anyone looking to build NLP solutions, from students of Computer Science to those involved in large-scale industrial projects.

《真實世界中的自然語言處理》是一本實用指南，教導如何應用數據科學和機器學習來建立自然語言處理（NLP）解決方案。傳統的學術教授的NLP通常需要有數據源或數據集來幫助解決方案的構建，而這本書則處於現實世界中，可能沒有現成的豐富數據集。

本書介紹了NLP和文本處理背後的基本概念，並討論了在15個行業垂直領域中的應用。從數據源和提取到轉換和建模，從傳統的機器學習到深度學習和Transformer，本書討論並實施了幾個常見的NLP應用。

本書提供了一個實踐性的全面指南，適用於任何希望構建NLP解決方案的人，從計算機科學的學生到參與大型工業項目的人。
