A Comprehensive Guide to Build your own Language Model in Python!
Overview
- Language models are a crucial component in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) journey
- These language models power all the popular NLP applications we are familiar with – Google Assistant, Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, etc.
- We will go from basic language models to advanced ones in Python here
Introduction
We tend to look through language and not realize how much power language has.
Language is such a powerful medium of communication. We have the ability to build projects from scratch using the nuances of language. It’s what drew me to Natural Language Processing (NLP) in the first place.
I’m amazed by the vast array of tasks I can perform with NLP – text summarization, generating completely new pieces of text, predicting what word comes next (Google’s autofill), among others. Do you know what is common among all these NLP tasks?
They are all powered by language models! Honestly, these language models are a crucial first step for most of the advanced NLP tasks.
