An Introductory Guide to Understand how ANNs Conceptualize New Ideas (using Embedding)

Introduction Here’s something you don’t hear everyday – everything we perceive is just a best case probabilistic prediction by our brain, based on our past encounters and knowledge gained through other mediums. This might sound extremely counter intuitive because we have always imagined that our brain mostly gives us deterministic answers. We’ll do a small experiment to showcase this logic. Take a look at the below image: Q1. Do you see a human ? Q2. Can you identify the person? […]

An Introduction to Text Summarization using the TextRank Algorithm (with Python implementation)

Introduction Text Summarization is one of those applications of Natural Language Processing (NLP) which is bound to have a huge impact on our lives. With growing digital media and ever growing publishing – who has the time to go through entire articles / documents / books to decide whether they are useful or not? Thankfully – this technology is already here. Have you come across the mobile app inshorts? It’s an innovative news app that converts news articles into a […]

An Essential Guide to Pretrained Word Embeddings for NLP Practitioners

Overview Understand the importance of pretrained word embeddings Learn about the two popular types of pretrained word embeddings – Word2Vec and GloVe Compare the performance of pretrained word embeddings and learning embeddings from scratch Introduction How do we make machines understand text data? We know that machines are supremely adept at dealing and working with numerical data but they become sputtering instruments if we feed raw text data to them. The idea is to create a representation of words […]

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 […]
