A problem-solution guide to encountering various NLP tasks utilizing Java open source libraries and cloud-based solutionsKey FeaturesPerform simple-to-complex NLP text processing tasks using modern Java librariesExtract relationships between different text complexities using a problem-solution approachUtilize cloud-based APIs to perform machine translation operationsBook DescriptionNatural Language Processing (NLP) has become one of the prime technologies for processing very large amounts of unstructured data from disparate information sources. This book includes a wide set of recipes and quick methods that solve challenges in text syntax, semantics, and speech tasks. At the beginning of the book, you'll learn important NLP techniques, such as identifying parts of speech, tagging words, and analyzing word semantics. You will learn how to perform lexical analysis and use machine learning techniques to speed up NLP operations. With independent recipes, you will explore techniques for customizing your existing NLP engines/models using Java libraries such as OpenNLP and the Stanford NLP library. You will also learn how to use NLP processing features from cloud-based sources, including Google and Amazon Web Services (AWS). You will master core tasks, such as stemming, lemmatization, part-of-speech tagging, and named entity recognition. You will also learn about sentiment analysis, semantic text similarity, language identification, machine translation, and text summarization. By the end of this book, you will be ready to become a professional NLP expert using a problem-solution approach to analyze any sort of text, sentence, or semantic word.What you will learnExplore how to use tokenizers in NLP processingImplement NLP techniques in machine learning and deep learning applicationsIdentify sentences within text and learn how to train specialized NER modelsLearn how to classify documents and perform sentiment analysisFind semantic similarities between text elements and extract text from a variety of sourcesPreprocess text from a variety of data sourcesLearn how to identify and translate languagesWho this book is forThis book is for data scientists, NLP engineers, and machine learning developers who want to perform their work on linguistic applications faster with the use of popular libraries on JVM machines. This book will help you build real-world NLP applications using a recipe-based approach. Prior knowledge of Natural Language Processing basics and Java programming is expected.
