Thorough review of foundational concepts and advanced techniques in natural language processing (NLP) and its impact across sectors

Supported by examples and case studies throughout, Language Intelligence provides an in-depth exploration of the latest advancements in natural language processing (NLP), offering a unique blend of insight on theoretical foundations, practical applications, and future directions in the field.

Comprised of 10 chapters, this book provides a thorough understanding of both foundational concepts and advanced techniques, starting with an overview of the historical development of NLP and essential mechanisms of Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and Natural Language Generation (NLG). It delves into the data landscape crucial for NLP, emphasizing ethical considerations, and equips readers with fundamental text processing techniques. The book also discusses linguistic features central to NLP and explores computational and cognitive approaches that enrich the field's advancement.

Practical applications and advanced processing techniques across various sectors like healthcare, legal, finance, and education are showcased, along with a critical examination of NLP metrics and methods for evaluation. The appendices offer detailed explorations of text representation methods, advanced applications, and Python's NLP capabilities, aiming to inform, inspire, and ignite a passion for NLP in the ever-expanding digital universe.

Written by a highly qualified academic with significant research experience in the field, Language Intelligence covers topics including:

• Fundamental text processing, covering text cleaning, sentence splitting, tokenization, lemmatization and stemming, stop-word removal, part-of-speech tagging, and parsing and syntactic analysis
• Computational and cognitive approaches, covering human-like reasoning, transfer learning, and learning with minimal examples
• Affective, psychological, and content analysis, covering sentiment analysis, emotion recognition, irony, humour, and sarcasm detection, and indicators of distress
• Multilingual natural language processing, covering translation and transliteration, cross-lingual models and embeddings, low-resource language processing, and cultural nuance and idiom recognition

Language Intelligence is an ideal reference for professionals across sectors and graduate students in related programs of study who have a foundational understanding of computer science, linguistics, and artificial intelligence looking to delve deeper into the intricacies of NLP.
