    Study Notes

    Introduction to Natural Language Processing (NLP)

    • NLP is a branch of computer science focused on enabling computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language.
    • This lecture covers web data processing systems using NLP techniques.

    Typical Extraction Pipeline

    • Data flows from text (e.g., HTML, tweets) through NLP pre-processing.
    • Refined text is processed to extract entities and relationships.
    • Reasoning and knowledge bases are the final steps in the pipeline.

    NLP Pre-processing: Overview

    • Pre-processing is crucial for effectively using text data in NLP models.
    • Common pre-processing tasks include tokenization, stemming/lemmatization, stop-word removal, POS tagging, and parsing.

    NLP Pre-processing: Tokenization

    • Tokenization splits a character sequence into individual tokens (words or sub-words).
    • Simple space-based tokenization has limitations and doesn't always work well.
    • Handling names, hyphens, and non-English languages is crucial for effective tokenization.
    • A consistent tokenization strategy is essential for both queries and documents.
    • Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) is a strategy for sub-word tokenization.

    Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) (I)

    • An algorithm for subword tokenization based on the data.
    • Subword tokenization splits words into smaller meaningful units.
    • BPE, Unigram Language Modeling Tokenization and WordPiece are three primary subword tokenization algorithms.

    Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) (II)

    • BPE tokenization involves two parts: Learning vocabularies and segmenting new text.
    • The process iteratively merges frequent adjacent sub-word units to create new tokens.
    • This creates a vocabulary for consistent tokenization.

    NLP Pre-processing - Tokenization (Tools)

    • Several tools and implementations exist for tokenization, including Stanford Tokenizer, Apache OpenNLP, NLTK, Google's SentencePiece, Hugging Face's tokenizers, and fastBPE.
    • LLAMA (Large Language Model) uses SentencePiece's BPE implementation.

    NLP Pre-processing: Stemming or Lemmatization

    • Stemming reduces words to their root form or stem.
    • Lemmatization reduces words to their base form (lemma).
    • Stemming usually produces less accurate results compared to lemmatization.
    • Modern language models often don't use stemming or lemmatization.

    Some Stemmers and Lemmatizers

    • Popular tools and algorithms include Porter, Snowball, spaCy, and Stanford CoreNLP.
    • Choice of algorithm depends on the specific task's requirements.

    Stop Words Removal (I)

    • Stop words are common words with little semantic meaning.
    • They are frequently present in texts, often reducing the valuable information provided.

    Stop Words Removal (II)

    • Removing stop words saves memory space and speeds up processing in queries.
    • There are situations where retaining stop words may be necessary, depending on the task.

    NLP Pre-processing: Part-of-Speech (POS) Tagging (I)

    • POS tagging assigns parts of speech (e.g., noun, verb, adjective) to each token.
    • Function words are essential for sentence structure, while content words provide the core meaning.

    NLP Pre-processing: Part-of-Speech (POS) Tagging (II)

    • POS tagging helps in predicting the next word in a sequence.
    • A basic benchmark for POS tagging has an accuracy of approximately 90%.
    • More advanced taggers achieve up to an accuracy of 97%, although this depends on the task or words.

    NLP Pre-processing: Parsing

    • Parsing creates a syntactic tree structure to represent the sentence's grammatical structure.
    • Types of parsing include constituency and dependency parsing.

    Other NLP Tasks

    • Sentence boundary detection identifies sentence beginnings and endings.
    • Text normalization standardizes text for consistent analysis.
    • Co-reference resolution links expressions that refer to the same entity in the given text

    NLP Pre-processing in Practice

    • Use NLP frameworks/libraries (e.g. spaCy, Stanford NLP, Apache OpenNLP, NLTK) for ease of use with acceptable performance.
    • Use the code from research papers, if more advanced performance is required.
    • Python coding knowledge and access to a GPU are typically required.
