Natural Language Processing

Striking a balance between foundational insights and applications, the book introduces three generations of NLP—rule-based, statistical, and neural—and approaches in these generations to NLP tasks such as shallow and deep parsing, machine translation, sentiment analysis, summarization, question-answering, and many more. In addition, chapters on large language models, shared tasks, and research dissemination serve as a solid foundation for readers to start their NLP journey. Significant focus has been given to NLP-based solutions which are increasingly finding applications in several domains.
