Chapter 6: AI Tools for Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Abstract: AI tools for NLP help computers understand human language, ranging from libraries like NLTK & spaCy for developers to cloud services from Google Cloud, AWS, & IBM Watson , and platforms like Hugging Face offering pre-trained models, powering applications like chatbots, translation (Google Translate), sentiment analysis , and voice assistants (Siri, Alexa) for tasks from text classification to information extraction . Popular Libraries & Frameworks (Open-Source) NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit): A leading Python library for beginners and researchers, great for learning fundamentals like tokenization, stemming, and tagging. spaCy : Known for its speed and efficiency, offering pre-trained models for production use, excellent for entity recognition and dependency parsing. Gensim : Specializes in topic modeling (LDA, LSI) and vector space modeling, efficient for large text corpora. Huggi...
