Natural language processing
Natural language processing (NLP)
Classical NLP
The Classical NLP consists of creating a pipeline using processors to create annotations from text files.
Below is an example of a few processors.
- Tokenization
- Convert a paragraph of test or a file into an array of words.
- Part-of-speech annotation
- Named Entity Recognition

Datasets and Challenges
SQuAD
Link
The Stanford Question Answering Dataset. There are two versions of this dataset, 1.1 and 2.0.
Transformer
Attention is all you need paper
A neural network architecture by Google which uses encoder-decoder attention and self-attention.
It is currently the best at NLP tasks and has mostly replaced RNNs for these tasks.
However, it's computational complexity is quadratic in the number of input and output tokens due to attention.
