Study Notes

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

NLP is a subfield of artificial intelligence
NLP involves using computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language
NLP draws from linguistics, computer science, and artificial intelligence

History of AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning

Artificial intelligence (AI) research started in the 1950s
Machine learning emerged in the 1980s and 90s as a subset of AI
Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, emerged in the 2010s and became a key driver in AI advancements

Components of NLP

Natural Language Understanding (NLU)
Natural Language Generation (NLG)

NLP and Applications

Text analysis plays a key role and has many applications across various domains:
Marketing
Financial investment
Drug discovery
Law enforcement
Question answering
Chatbots
Virtual assistants
Text classification
Machine translation
Speech recognition

Challenges and Difficulties in NLP

There are various difficulties and challenges:
Ambiguity in sentence structures
Ambiguous word meanings
Complex sentence structures
Difficulty in understanding figurative language
Imparting world knowledge
Language evolves continuously
The exponential nature of knowledge complexity within language

Difficulties in NLP: Additional challenges, including nuances

Meaning
Ambiguity
Polysemy
Sarcasm
Irony

Text Analytics

Text analytics is the process of extracting meaningful information from unstructured text data.
Public text, private text and web text are included in text analytics.
Text analytics uses NLP to extract insights and produce valuable reports
Examples of applications include marketing, financial investment, and law enforcement.

Hidden Values in Text

Various hidden values can be extracted from texts, including:
Personality
Piracy detection
Protein interaction root cause
Buzz (in social media)
Emotion style
Purchase intent
Brand perception
Named entity
Consumer profile
Risk analysis
Log analysis
Argumentation

Different Approaches to Understanding Text

Dream: Idealistic view of text handling
Reality: Practical difficulties in text handling
The difference between the idealized goal and the practical reality is a strong theme

Why is Natural Language Processing Difficult

Natural language constantly changes, evolving, making it hard to maintain accuracy in programs.
Language uses varying structures in each sentence.
Understanding context is difficult within each sentence in the text.
Understanding figurative language or sarcasm is another challenge.

NLP Applications and Tasks

A range of applications are possible using NLP technology, spanning topics including:
Topic/genre detection
Spam detection
Author attribution (sex, age, for example)
Sentiment analysis
Language identification (multiple languages)
Summarization
Information retrieval
Question answering
Chatbots
Virtual assistants

Examples of Practical NLP Applications

Analyzing social media posts to gauge public opinion
Categorizing customer service emails for effective routing
Summarizing news articles to keep people informed

Wikipedia and Data

Wikipedia contains data in 314 languages
The number of entries varies across languages

Deep Neural Networks for NLP

Deep neural networks are used for many NLP tasks, including classification
Deep neural networks use multiple layers for complex computations
Variety of architectures used, and many parameters are required for these networks
Deep neural networks are a technique for modelling sentences into vectors to show relationships

Foundations Models in NLP and Their Capabilities

The capabilities of foundation models have increased over time, including the increase of parameters in GPT models
There has been a significant increase in multimodal learning with foundation models with the combined use of text and images

Intelligent Personal Assistants (IPAs):

IPAs leverage multiple techniques, including speech recognition and question answering
IPAs use AI and NLP to provide a vast set of services and features to users, including providing details on real-time events (stock prices, weather, traffic)

Chatbots and Their Capabilities

Chatbots are computer programs that can communicate with humans through text or speech.
Chatbots find many applications including customer service, information gathering, and in telecoms, among others.
Chatbots utilize natural language processing to give the user the best outcome

Chatbot Features and Examples

Speak Naturally
Interact with surroundings, and other objects. 
Data-driven tasks like Geospatial information, and Event based services
Becomes Smarter over Time 
Can entertain the user

Categorizing Chatbots

Defined by rules
Conversational: using AI
Keyword spotting: matching to pre-set keywords within a database or file.
Intent-based: AI understands context and meaning within the user's request.
Autonomous: Learns and functions independently without explicit rules

Name-Entity Recognition (NER)

NER is a subtask of information extraction
NER identifies and classifies named entities, including person names, organizations, locations

Example of NER: Location Extraction

Extraction processes identify places by name, and extract context

Deep Learning vs. Machine Learning

Differences between deep learning and machine learning lie in the processing methods that give them their capacity to analyze input and output
Machine learning extracts features from an input, and classifies data 
Deep learning extracts and classifies data through a process of multiple levels of abstraction that can analyze input to give an output

Example of text-based content and prediction

Example of using text analysis to predict movie genres
Texts of movie plots, analyzed to determine various genre classifications

Vector Spaces and Their Use in Representation

Words are represented by vectors, helping to show relationships within a semantic space
Vector representations show relationships of words within a large corpus, and their closeness can show similarity in meaning

Multilingual Machine Translation

NLP and machine translation facilitates communication across languages

Sentiment Analysis

Sentiment analysis is used to analyze how people feel or react in text
Sentiment analysis can show an overall average for a specific text, and show various words that indicate positive and negative sentiments, and how impactful they are

Conclusion

Text analysis and NLP applications are far-reaching, beneficial across various sectors.
Text-based analysis is crucial due to the large amounts of text data in business and communications.
