Natural Language Processing in Action: Understanding, analyzing, and generating text with Python

I liked the structure of the book. Looking forward for the next edition of this book. I would urge to include transformers and large language models in the next edition.

Great for entry level and mid I am familiar with time series modeling and new to NLP. The text does a great job explaining the concept and execution. Very approachable and does a great job, especially explaining the concept of metal networks before diving in. The only feedback is that it could have spent more time using sklearn library instead of re-building the wheel with numpy arrays. Excited to see what second edition has!

I read this textbook almost cover to cover (which is very rare with technical textbooks) as it was very well written and enjoyable to read. I feel like I have gotten a very good understanding of the challenges and subtleties of natural language processing (and I know where to look if I need more details about a specific thing). The tutorials/code examples are also very clear and helpful - it helps a lot to code along when you read and experiment!This is my second Manning textbook (after Deep Learning with Python by Francois Chollet), and I definitely love this publishing house: textbooks written in conversational English (so it's great to read) with a reasonable depth and precision in explanations. Another bonus is that I absolutely love the covers artworks!

It took me quite some time to research the topic and identify a book best fit for my needs. As someone who works and is seeking immediate application of knowledge. This book is so far one of the best I have purchased over the past 2 years since I started my Python adventure and opening up windows on the universe of data science and machine learning. The explanations are enlightening, the code well commented. I haven't gone too far yet but I can already see where the book is leading me and must say studying this book has brought me back to my youth when I studied with passion - very well done!

I am ML engineer and this helps a lot when it comes to developing products..

I have studied NLP/CL methods individually, but had never put it altogether in a single applied product/package. This book ties many of the methods/tools together into a viable application package. I may never write a chatbot for actual use, but this 'vehicle' helps me connect the dots of many individual NLP tools... each of which are a study in their own right. Good job.
