TensorFlow™ is an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs.

SyntaxNet is a neural-network Natural Language Processing framework for TensorFlow.

Word2Vec is used for learning vector representations of words, called "word embeddings". Word2vec is a particularly computationally-efficient predictive model for learning word embeddings from raw text. It comes in two flavors, the Continuous Bag-of-Words model (CBOW) and the Skip-Gram model (Chapter 3.1 and 3.2 in Mikolov et al.).

Used in tandem, SyntaxNet and Word2Vec allows users to generate Learned Embedding models from Natural Language input.

Audience

This course is targeted at Developers and engineers who intend to work with SyntaxNet and Word2Vec models in their TensorFlow graphs.

After completing this course, delegates will:

• understand TensorFlow’s structure and deployment mechanisms
• be able to carry out installation / production environment / architecture tasks and configuration
• be able to assess code quality, perform debugging, monitoring
• be able to implement advanced production like training models, embedding terms, building graphs and logging

DL (Deep Learning) is a subset of ML (Machine Learning).

Python is a popular programming language that contains libraries for Deep Learning for NLP.

Deep Learning for NLP (Natural Language Processing) allows a machine to learn simple to complex language processing. Among the tasks currently possible are language translation and caption generation for photos.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn to use Python libraries for NLP as they create an application that processes a set of pictures and generates captions. 

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Design and code DL for NLP using Python libraries.
• Create Python code that reads a substantially huge collection of pictures and generates keywords.
• Create Python Code that generates captions from the detected keywords.

Natural language generation (NLG) refers to the production of natural language text or speech by a computer.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to use Python to produce high-quality natural language text by building their own NLG system from scratch. Case studies will also be examined and the relevant concepts will be applied to live lab projects for generating content.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use NLG to automatically generate content for various industries, from journalism, to real estate, to weather and sports reporting
• Select and organize source content, plan sentences, and prepare a system for automatic generation of original content
• Understand the NLG pipeline and apply the right techniques at each stage
• Understand the architecture of a Natural Language Generation (NLG) system
• Implement the most suitable algorithms and models for analysis and ordering
• Pull data from publicly available data sources as well as curated databases to use as material for generated text
• Replace manual and laborious writing processes with computer-generated, automated content creation

Audience

• Developers
• Data scientists

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

This course introduces linguists or programmers to NLP in Python. During this course we will mostly use nltk.org (Natural Language Tool Kit), but also we will use other libraries relevant and useful for NLP. At the moment we can conduct this course in Python 2.x or Python 3.x. Examples are in English or Mandarin (普通话). Other languages can be also made available if agreed before booking.

TextBlob is a Python NLP library for processing textual data. It provides a simple API that makes it easy to perform NLP tasks, such as part-of-speech tagging, noun phrase extraction, sentiment analysis, classification, translation, etc.

In Python Machine Learning, the Text Summarization feature is able to read the input text and produce a text summary. This capability is available from the command-line or as a Python API/Library. One exciting application is the rapid creation of executive summaries; this is particularly useful for organizations that need to review large bodies of text data before generating reports and presentations.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn to use Python to create a simple application that auto-generates a summary of input text.

This course has been designed for people interested in extracting meaning from written English text, though the knowledge can be applied to other human languages as well.

The course will cover how to make use of text written by humans, such as  blog posts, tweets, etc...

For example, an analyst can set up an algorithm which will reach a conclusion automatically based on extensive data source.

It is estimated that unstructured data accounts for more than 90 percent of all data, much of it in the form of text. Blog posts, tweets, social media, and other digital publications continuously add to this growing body of data.

This instructor-led, live course centers around extracting insights and meaning from this data. Utilizing the R Language and Natural Language Processing (NLP) libraries, we combine concepts and techniques from computer science, artificial intelligence, and computational linguistics to algorithmically understand the meaning behind text data. Data samples are available in various languages per customer requirements.

By the end of this training participants will be able to prepare data sets (large and small) from disparate sources, then apply the right algorithms to analyze and report on its significance.

Format of the Course

• Part lecture, part discussion, heavy hands-on practice, occasional tests to gauge understanding
