Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This textbook explains Deep Learning Architecture, with applications to various NLP Tasks, including Document Classification, Machine Translation, Language Modeling, and Speech Recognition. With the widespread adoption of deep learning, natural language processing (NLP),and speech applications in many areas (including Finance, Healthcare, and Government) there is a growing need for one comprehensive resource that maps deep learning techniques to NLP and speech and provides insights  into  using  the  tools  and  libraries  for  real-world  applications. Deep Learning for NLP and Speech Recognition explains recent deep learning methods applicable to NLP and speech, provides state-of-the-art approaches, and offers real-world case studies with code to provide hands-on experience.  

Many books focus on deep learning theory or deep learning for NLP-specific tasks while others are cookbooks for tools and libraries, but the constant flux of new algorithms, tools, frameworks, and libraries in a rapidly evolving landscape means that there are few available texts that offer the material in this book. 

The book is organized into three parts, aligning to different groups of readers and their expertise. The three parts are:

      Machine Learning, NLP, and Speech Introduction

The first part has three chapters that introduce readers to the fields of  NLP, speech recognition,  deep learning and machine learning with basic theory and hands-on case studies using Python-based tools and libraries.

      Deep Learning Basics

The five chapters in the second part introduce deep learning and various topics that are crucial for speech and text processing, including word embeddings, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks and speech recognition basics. Theory, practical tips, state-of-the-art methods, experimentations and analysis in using the methods discussed in theory on real-world tasks.

      Advanced Deep Learning Techniques for Text and Speech

The third part has five chapters that discuss the latest and cutting-edge research in the areas of deep learning that intersect with NLP and speech. Topics including attention mechanisms, memory augmented networks, transfer learning, multi-task learning, domain adaptation, reinforcement learning, and end-to-end deep learning for speech recognition are covered using case studies.

John Liu spent the past 22 years managing quantitative research, portfolio management and data science teams. He is currently CEO of Intelluron Corporation, an emerging AI-as-a-service solution company. Most recently, John was head of data science and data strategy as VP at Digital Reasoning. Previously, he was CIO of Spartus Capital, a quantitative investment firm in New York. Prior to that, John held senior executive roles at Citigroup, where he oversaw the portfolio solutions group that advised institutional clients on quantitative investment and risk strategies; at the Indiana Public Employees pension, where he managed the $7B public equities portfolio; at Vanderbilt University, where he oversaw the $2B equity and alternative investment portfolios; and at BNP Paribas, where he managedthe US index options and MSCI delta-one trading desks. He is known for his expertise in reinforcement learning applied to investment management and has authored numerous papers and book chapters on topics including natural language processing, representation learning, systemic risk, asset allocation, and EM theory. In 2016, John was named Nashville's Data Scientist of the Year. He earned his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania and is a CFA Charterholder.

James (Jimmy) Whitaker manages Applied Research at Digital Reasoning. He currently leads deep learning developments in speech analytics in the FinTech space, and has spent the last 4 years building machine learning applications for NLP, Speech Recognition, and Computer Vision. He received his masters in Computer Science from the University of Oxford, where he received a distinction for his application of machine learning in the field of Steganalysis after completing his undergraduate degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Christian Brothers University. Prior to his work in deep learning, Jimmy worked as a concept engineer and risk manager for complex transportation initiatives.
