Zefs Guide to Natural Language Processing is a short guide to the most important concepts in modern, machine learning-based NLP. NLP is one of the most important parts of the current artificial intelligence revolution. In the last few years deep neural networks have allowed computers to perform language-related tasks with a level of ability that was previously impossible. This book covers the foundational concepts of natural language processing, as well as the most important NLP applications and techniques using neural networks in an easy to understand way. All in less than a 100 pages!

Zefs Guide to Natural Language Processing is part the Zefs Guides series on deep learning and its applications. It builds on the concepts in the first book, Zefs Guide to Deep Learning. The other books in the series are:

• Zefs Guide to Deep Learning
• Zefs Guide to Computer Vision
• Zefs Guide to Transformers

Zefs Guides are designed to help the beginner quickly get up to speed on topics in machine learning and data science and to help the experienced practitioner push their conceptual understanding even further. They are short and to the point, covering the most important topics and concepts. They're for you if you are a job seeker looking for a role in ML/AI/DS, a student studying for exams, an experienced data person dusting off your old knowledge, or an executive seeking a better understanding of some of today's most important technologies.
