Advanced NLP with spaCy
|
Learn how to use spaCy to build advanced natural language understanding systems, using both rule-based and machine learning approaches.
Course Description
If you’re working with a lot of text, you’ll eventually want to know more about it. For example, what’s it about? What do the words mean in context? Who is doing what to whom? What companies and products are mentioned? Which texts are similar to each other? In this course, you’ll learn how to use spaCy, a fast-growing industry standard library for NLP in Python, to build advanced natural language understanding systems, using both rule-based and machine learning approaches.
What You’ll Learn
Finding words, phrases, names and concepts
This chapter will introduce you to the basics of text processing with spaCy. You’ll learn about the data structures, how to work with statistical models, and how to use them to predict linguistic features in your text.
Processing Pipelines
This chapter will show you to everything you need to know about spaCy’s processing pipeline. You’ll learn what goes on under the hood when you process a text, how to write your own components and add them to the pipeline, and how to use custom attributes to add your own meta data to the documents, spans and tokens.
Large-scale data analysis with spaCy
In this chapter, you’ll use your new skills to extract specific information from large volumes of text. You’ll learn how to make the most of spaCy’s data structures, and how to effectively combine statistical and rule-based approaches for text analysis.
Training a neural network model
In this chapter, you’ll learn how to update spaCy’s statistical models to customize them for your use case – for example, to predict a new entity type in online comments. You’ll write your own training loop from scratch, and understand the basics of how training works, along with tips and tricks that can make your custom NLP projects more successful.
