This book, subtitled "Enabling Language-Aware Data Products with Machine Learning", presents a data scientist’s approach to building language-aware products with applied machine learning. Authors Benjamin Bengfort, Dr. Rebecca Bilbro and Tony Ojeda demonstrate robust, repeatable, and scalable techniques for text analysis with Python, including contextual and linguistic feature engineering, vectorization, classification, topic modeling, entity resolution, graph analysis, and visual steering. The applied nature of the book means that the authors focus not on the academic nature of linguistics or statistical models, but instead on how to be effective at deploying models trained on text inside of a software application.
