Stephan Raaijmakers is a senior scientist at TNO and holds a PhD in machine learning and text analytics. He’s the technical coordinator of two large European Union-funded research security-related projects. He’s currently anticipating an endowed professorship in deep learning and NLP at a major Dutch university.

Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing teaches you to apply state-of-the-art deep learning approaches to natural language processing tasks. You’ll learn key NLP concepts like neural word embeddings, auto-encoders, part-of-speech tagging, parsing, and semantic inference. Then you’ll dive deeper into advanced topics including deep memory-based NLP, linguistic structure, and hyperparameters for deep NLP. Along the way, you’ll pick up emerging best practices and gain hands-on experience with a myriad of examples, all written in Python and the powerful Keras library. By the time you’re done reading this invaluable book, you’ll be solving a wide variety of NLP problems with cutting-edge deep learning techniques!
