About this listen
Natural Language Processing in Action is your guide to building machines that can read and interpret human language. In it, you'll use readily available Python packages to capture the meaning in text and react accordingly. The book expands traditional NLP approaches to include neural networks, modern deep learning algorithms, and generative techniques as you tackle real-world problems like extracting dates and names, composing text, and answering free-form questions.
About the Technology
Recent advances in deep learning empower applications to understand text and speech with extreme accuracy. The result? Chatbots that can imitate real people, meaningful resume-to-job matches, superb predictive search, and automatically generated document summaries - all at a low cost. New techniques, along with accessible tools like Keras and TensorFlow, make professional-quality NLP easier than ever before.
What's inside:
- Some sentences in this book were written by NLP! Can you guess which ones?
- Working with Keras, TensorFlow, gensim, and scikit-learn.
- Rule-based and data-based NLP.
- Scalable pipelines.
Requirements
This book requires a basic understanding of deep learning and intermediate Python skills.
Hobson Lane, Cole Howard, and Hannes Max Hapke are experienced NLP engineers who use these techniques in production for profit and fun: contributing to social-benefit projects like smart guides for people with blindness and cognitive assistance for those with developmental challenges or suffering from information overload (don't we all?).
"Provides a great overview of current NLP tools in Python. I’ll definitely be keeping this book on hand for my own NLP work. Highly recommended!" (Tony Mullen, Northeastern University - Seattle)
"An intuitive guide to get you started with NLP. The book is full of programming examples that help you learn in a very pragmatic way." (Tommaso Teofili, Adobe Systems)
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The Best ML Book on Audible
This is the best machine learning book on Audible. It's well structured, clear and well balanced to suit beginners and provide value to those who already know a bit. Just one annoying thing, of all the words in the vocabulary the narrator struggles with the word "vocabulary" constantly mispronouncing it as "vocabloory", "vocbury", "vocablury", "vocaboolry and I found it quite distracting.

perhaps best book about ml/ai
1. The audio version of this book is very easy to listen to, though it is a technical text that no doubt has visual elements, code etc. many technical computer books are exceedingly awkward to listen to, this is a pleasure to listen to.
2. While superficially this is focused on NLP, the book is a fabulous overview of machine learning in general.
The author and publisher really took their time to research and write a clear high quality text. I hope it is updated periodically, as NLP is a quickly changing field.

Don't Waste Your Money on the Audio Version
This book might have been an authoritative book in its day. But it is awful as an audio book. Not that the content is awful but the conversion to audio is! For example, the author makes reference to many web links and uses a term like "...can be found at this URL..." But there is no representation of the URL in either the recording or the PDF. The PDF looks like it was just thrown together at the last minute without the structure of the book to guide it by someone who didn't even look at the print version. Also the index uses "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2", etc. as chapter titles not the author's chapter names. I hate this practice it shows a real disregard of product quality.
