Chapter 1: Fundamentals of Natural Language Processing – It introduces the basics of Natural Language Processing (NLP), including its applications and challenges. It also covers the different components of NLP, such as morphological analysis, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. The chapter provides an overview of the historical evolution of NLP and explains the importance of language data in NLP research.
Chapter 2: Introduction to Language Models – It introduces Language Models (LMs), which are computational models that learn to predict the probability of a sequence of words. The chapter explains the concept of probability in language modeling and how it is calculated. It also covers the different types of LMs, such as n-gram models, feedforward neural networks, and recurrent neural networks. This chapter also explores the different types of LMs in more detail. It covers statistical language models, which are based on the frequency of word co-occurrences, and neural language models, which use neural networks to model the probability distribution of words. The chapter also discusses the differences between autoregressive and autoencoding LMs and how they are trained.
Chapter 3: Data Collection and Pre-processing for Language Modeling – It explores the essential steps in transforming raw data into valuable insights. We will cover strategies for acquiring diverse datasets, techniques for cleaning noisy data, and methods for preprocessing text to prepare it for modeling. We will delve into exploratory data analysis, address challenges like handling unstructured data, discuss building a representative text corpus, and explore data privacy considerations. You will be equipped to develop accurate and robust language models by mastering these techniques.
