Day 1–30 Days of Natural Language Processing Series with Projects

(Day 1 post link below)-

In this post, we covered the pre-requisite you need to get started in NLP. All you need is —

Python

Python is a high-level, most widely used multi-purpose, easy to read programming language.

Everything you need to know to get a good grip in Python is covered in the posts below ( make sure you implement code covered in the posts below before kicking off your NLP journey)

Everything that you need to know in Python with Projects.

Maths

A good maths background will take you very far in your NLP journey. While its vast and it’s impossible to cover everything in this post, some of the topics you should study are —

  1. Linear Algebra
  2. Analytic Geometry
  3. Matrix Decompositions
  4. Bayes Theorem
  5. Vector Calculus
  6. Probability and Distribution
  7. Exploratory & Descriptive Statistics
  • Linear Algebra is the branch of mathematics that deals with vectors, vector spaces, and linear transformations. It is used to study systems of linear equations and their properties, including eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
  • Analytic Geometry is a branch of mathematics that uses the techniques of calculus and algebra to study geometric shapes and figures. It is used to describe the geometric properties of shapes and figures, including their size and position in space.
  • Matrix Decompositions are methods for breaking down a matrix into simpler, more manageable parts. These include methods such as eigenvalue decomposition and singular value decomposition, which can be used to analyze and manipulate large matrices.
  • Bayes’ Theorem is a fundamental result in probability theory that describes how to update the probability of an event occurring, given new information. It is often used in machine learning and decision-making to make predictions based on data.
  • Vector Calculus is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of vectors and vector fields. It is used to study the properties of functions of multiple variables and to model physical phenomena, such as fluid flow and electromagnetic fields.
  • Probability and Distribution is the study of random variables and the probability distributions that describe them. It is used to model and analyze a wide range of phenomena, from the outcomes of coin flips to the stock market.
  • Exploratory and Descriptive Statistics are used to summarize and describe data. Exploratory statistics involves using visual and numerical methods to understand patterns in data, while descriptive statistics involves summarizing data using measures such as mean, median, and standard deviation.

Below post covers the statistics and maths which will help you get started —

Maths —

Pandas

  • It’s an open source Python package written for the Python programming language for data manipulation, analysis and ML tasks
  • It is built on top of another package named Numpy, which provides support for mathematical computations and multi-dimensional arrays.

Everything you need to know in Pandas is covered in the posts below —

Numpy

Numpy is a python library for scientific computing — to work with multidimensional array objects and used to handle large amount of data. An array which is a grid of values and is indexed by a tuple of nonnegative integers is main data structure of the Numpy library.

Everything you need to know in Numpy is covered in the posts below —

Data Preprocessing

Data preprocessing , one of the first and crucial step — the process in which we prepare the raw data and make it suitable for a ML model to increase its accuracy and efficiency.

Everything you need to know in Data Preprocessing is covered in the posts below —

Machine Learning Algorithms

This is a very important topic that you should master before diving in the NLP. Once you get hold of the basic ML algorithms you will apply those in the NLP projects that we build in this series.

Everything that you need to know about ML algorithms is covered in the posts below ( Implement Day 14 to Day 46)

Neural Network Basics

Neural Network in simple terms is an interconnected group of nodes which take input along with information from other nodes, develop output without programmed rules.
