| book description |

This book offers an introduction to modern natural language processing using machine learning, focusing on how neural networks create a machine interpretable representation of the meaning of natural language. Language is crucially linked to ideas â€“ as Websterâ€™s 1923 â€œEnglish Composition and Literatureâ€ puts it: â€œA sentence is a group of words expressing a complete thoughtâ€. Thus the representation of sentences and the words that make them up is vital in advancing artificial intelligence and other â€œsmartâ€ systems currently being developed. Providing an overview of the research in the area, from Bengio et al.â€™s seminal work on a â€œNeural Probabilistic Language Modelâ€ in 2003, to the latest techniques, this book enables readers to gain an understanding of how the techniques are related and what is best for their purposes. As well as a introduction to neural networks in general and recurrent neural networks in particular,Â this book details the methods used for representing words, senses of words, and larger structures such as sentences or documents.Â The bookÂ highlights practical implementations and discusses many aspects that are often overlooked or misunderstood.Â The book includes thorough instruction on challenging areas such as hierarchicalÂ softmax and negative sampling, to ensure the reader fully and easily understands the details of how the algorithms function.Â Combining practical aspects with a more traditional review of the literature, it is directly applicable to a broad readership.Â It is an invaluable introduction for early graduate students working in natural language processing; a trustworthy guide for industry developers wishing to make use of recent innovations; and a sturdy bridgeÂ for researchers already familiar with linguistics or machine learning wishing to understand the other.
