This book walks you through the world of teaching computers to understand human language, starting with the basics and building up to advanced techniques. You will learn how to break down text into meaningful pieces, use Python programming to handle text data, and clean up messy text for analysis. The book shows you how computers can understand the meaning behind words using methods like word embeddings and BERT. You will discover how to identify parts of speech and recognize names of people and places in text, and how to sort text into different categories using ML. Advanced topics include finding hidden themes in document collections, building chatbots that can have conversations, and creating visual representations of text data.
