Natural Language Processing with GPT by Dr. Ernesto Lee is a comprehensive guide designed to explore the intricate details of NLP techniques, with a focus on practical applications using GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformers). The book provides readers with a strong foundation in the field of NLP, starting from basic text analytics concepts and moving into advanced machine learning and deep learning approaches.
Key chapters in the book include:
- Introduction to NLP: An overview of the field, outlining essential NLP concepts.
- Word Vectorization: Methods of transforming words into vectors for machine learning models.
- Text Classification: A two-part deep dive into using machine learning for categorizing text data.
- Word Embeddings: Discusses popular embedding techniques like Word2Vec to represent words in high-dimensional space.
- Deep Learning and LSTM: Covers the implementation of deep learning architectures, focusing on sequential models like Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM).
- Attention and Transformers: Introduces the pivotal role of transformers in NLP and deep learning, setting the stage for modern models like GPT and BERT.
- BERT: Explores another transformer-based model that excels in a wide range of NLP tasks.
The final chapters empower readers to build, fine-tune, and manage their own GPT models, providing both theoretical and practical insights. The book is ideal for students, developers, and professionals interested in advancing their understanding of NLP and applying GPT-based solutions to real-world problems.
