Python for NLP: Working with Facebook FastText Library

This is the 20th article in my series of articles on Python for NLP. In the last few articles, we have been exploring deep learning techniques to perform a variety of machine learning tasks, and you should also be familiar with the concept of word embeddings. Word embeddings is a way to convert textual information into numeric form, which in turn can be used as input to statistical algorithms. In my article on word embeddings, I explained how we can […]

Solving Sequence Problems with LSTM in Keras

In this article, you will learn how to perform time series forecasting that is used to solve sequence problems. Time series forecasting refers to the type of problems where we have to predict an outcome based on time dependent inputs. A typical example of time series data is stock market data where stock prices change with time. Similarly, the hourly temperature of a particular place also changes and can also be considered as time series data. Time series data is […]

Reading and Writing YAML to a File in Python

Introduction In this tutorial, we’re going to learn how to use the YAML library in Python 3. YAML stands for Yet Another Markup Language. In recent years it has become very popular for its use in storing data in a serialized manner for configuration files. Since YAML essentially is a data format, the YAML library is quite brief, as the only functionality required of it is the ability to parse YAML formatted files. In this article we will start with […]

Solving Sequence Problems with LSTM in Keras: Part 2

This is the second and final part of the two-part series of articles on solving sequence problems with LSTMs. In the part 1 of the series, I explained how to solve one-to-one and many-to-one sequence problems using LSTM. In this part, you will see how to solve one-to-many and many-to-many sequence problems via LSTM in Keras. Image captioning is a classic example of one-to-many sequence problems where you have a single image as input and you have to predict the […]

Analyzing API Data with MongoDB, Seaborn, and Matplotlib

Introduction A commonly requested skill for software development positions is experience with NoSQL databases, including MongoDB. This tutorial will explore collecting data using an API, storing it in a MongoDB database, and doing some analysis of the data. However, before jumping into the code let’s take a moment to go over MongoDB and APIs, to make sure we understand how we’ll be dealing with the data we’re collecting. MongoDB and NoSQL MongoDB is a form of NoSQL database, enabling the […]
