Text Mining 101: A Stepwise Introduction to Topic Modeling using Latent Semantic Analysis (using Python)

Introduction Have you ever been inside a well-maintained library? I’m always incredibly impressed with the way the librarians keep everything organized, by name, content, and other topics. But if you gave these librarians thousands of books and asked them to arrange each book on the basis of their genre, they will struggle to accomplish this task in a day, let alone an hour! However, this won’t happen to you if these books came in a digital format, right? All the […]

Must-Read Tutorial to Learn Sequence Modeling (deeplearning.ai Course #5)

Introduction The ability to predict what comes next in a sequence is fascinating. It’s one of the reasons I became interested in data science! Interestingly – human mind is really good at it, but that is not the case with machines. Given a mysterious plot in a book, the human brain will start creating outcomes. But, how to teach machines to do something similar? Thanks to Deep Learning – we can do lot more today than what was possible a […]

Learn how to Build and Deploy a Chatbot in Minutes using Rasa (IPL Case Study!)

Introduction Have you ever been stuck at work while a pulsating cricket match was going on? You need to meet a deadline but you just can’t concentrate because your favorite team is locked in a fierce battle for a playoff spot. Sounds familiar? I’ve been in this situation a lot in my professional career and checking my phone every 5 minutes was not really an option! Being a data scientist, I looked at this challenge from the lens of an […]

DataHack Radio #24: Exploring and Designing Chatbots with RASA’s Justina Petraitytė

Introduction Chatbots are the most common application of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Organizations are scrambling to integrate chatbots into their daily functions to enhance and personalize our experience. As a data science professional, I’m always curious about how these chatbots are built. Rasa is one such open source framework that we can leverage to build our own chatbots. So we are delighted to have Rasa’s data scientist and Head of Developer Relations, Justina Petraitytė, on our DataHack Radio podcast! Justina […]

Quick Introduction to Bag-of-Words (BoW) and TF-IDF for Creating Features from Text

The Challenge of Making Machines Understand Text “Language is a wonderful medium of communication” You and I would have understood that sentence in a fraction of a second. But machines simply cannot process text data in raw form. They need us to break down the text into a numerical format that’s easily readable by the machine (the idea behind Natural Language Processing!). This is where the concepts of Bag-of-Words (BoW) and TF-IDF come into play. Both BoW and TF-IDF are […]

Transfer Learning for NLP: Fine-Tuning BERT for Text Classification

Introduction With the advancement in deep learning, neural network architectures like recurrent neural networks (RNN and LSTM) and convolutional neural networks (CNN) have shown a decent improvement in performance in solving several Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks like text classification, language modeling, machine translation, etc. However, this performance of deep learning models in NLP pales in comparison to the performance of deep learning in Computer Vision. One of the main reasons for this slow progress could be the lack of […]

TTS Skins: Speaker Conversion via ASR

Abstract We present a fully convolutional wav-to-wav network for converting between speakers’ voices, without relying on text. Our network is based on an encoder-decoder architecture, where the encoder is pre-trained for the task of Automatic Speech Recognition, and a multi-speaker waveform decoder is trained to reconstruct the original signal in an autoregressive manner. We train the network on narrated audiobooks, and demonstrate multi-voice TTS in those voices, by converting the voice of a TTS robot. To finish reading, please visit […]

Entropy Minimization In Emergent Languages

Abstract There is growing interest in studying the languages that emerge when neural agents are jointly trained to solve tasks requiring communication through a discrete channel. We investigate here the information-theoretic complexity of such languages, focusing on the basic two-agent, one-exchange setup. We find that, under common training procedures, the emergent languages are subject to an entropy minimization pressure that has also been detected in human language, whereby the mutual information between the communicating agent’s inputs and the messages is […]
