Natural Language Processing with
Python by Edward Loper
Excellent Intro To Nlp
This book offers a highly accessible introduction to Natural Language
Processing, the field that underpins a variety of language technologies,
ranging from predictive text and email filtering to automatic summarization
and translation. With Natural Language Processing with Python, youll learn
how to write Python programs to work with large collections of unstructured
text. Youll access richly-annotated datasets using a comprehensive range
of linguistic data structures. And youll understand the main algorithms for
analyzing the content and structure of written communication.
Packed with examples and exercises, Natural Language Processing with
Python will help you: Extract information from unstructured text, to guess
the topic or identify named entities Analyze linguistic structure in text,
including parsing and semantic analysis Access popular linguistic
databases, including WordNet and treebanks Integrate techniques drawn
from fields as diverse as linguistics and artificial intelligence Perfect for
individual study, or as a classroom and workshop textbook, this book will
help you gain practical skills in Natural Language Processing using the

Python programming language and the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK)
open source library.
If youre interested in developing Web applications, analyzing multilingual
news sources, documenting endangered languages, or if you are simply
curious to have a programmers perspective on how human language
works, you will find Natural Language Processing with Python both
fascinating and immensely useful.
Personal Review: Natural Language Processing with Python by
Edward Loper
If you have any need for Natural Language Processing - this book is the
one you must read. I've bought & read the famous textbooks on the
subject, but these give you just the theory & math. This book however
gives you the practical know-how in order to get you started & running, in
no time. It does this by using the programming language of choice for this
domain (Python) & the framework of choice for doing the actual work
(NLTK), which the authors have developed.
Really fun to read & very very useful, for programmers as well as anyone
wishing to process texts automatically. Good also for non-programmers, as
it gently introduces the programming idioms required to get the work done,
& does it really well!
