In the previous tutorial on Deep Learning, we’ve built a super simple network with numpy. I figured that the best next step is to jump right in and build some deep learning models for text. The best way to do this at the time of writing is by using Keras . What is Keras? Keras […]
Deep Learning is one of those hyper-hyped subjects that everybody is talking about and everybody claims they’re doing. In certain cases, startups just need to mention they use Deep Learning and they instantly get appreciation. Deep Learning is indeed a powerful technology, but it’s not an answer to every problem. It’s also not magic like […]
Throughout this blog, we seek to obtain good performance on our classification tasks. Classification is one of the most popular tasks in Machine Learning. Be sure you understand what classification is before going through this tutorial. You can check this Introduction to Machine Learning, specially created for hackers.
Have you ever noticed what happens when you hear a name you haven’t heard before? You automatically put it in a bucket, the girl names bucket or the boy names bucket. In this tutorial, we’re getting started with machine learning. We’ll be building a classifier able to distinguish between boy and girl names. If this […]
The most direct definition of the task is: “Does a text express a positive or negative sentiment?”. Usually, we assign a polarity value to a text. This value is usually in the [-1, 1] interval, 1 being very positive, -1 very negative.
Part-Of-Speech tagging (or POS tagging, for short) is one of the main components of almost any NLP analysis. The task of POS-tagging simply implies labelling words with their appropriate Part-Of-Speech (Noun, Verb, Adjective, Adverb, Pronoun, …).
Text classification is most probably, the most encountered Natural Language Processing task. It can be described as assigning texts to an appropriate bucket. A sports article should go in SPORT_NEWS, and a medical prescription should go in MEDICAL_PRESCRIPTIONS. To train a text classifier, we need some annotated data. This training data can be obtained through […]
