AllenNLP is a PyTorch-based library designed to make it easy to do high-quality research in natural language processing. Its design also makes it easy for you to use state-of-the-art NLP models to solve your own problems. Joel Grus explains what modern neural NLP looks like; you’ll get your hands dirty training some models, writing some code, and learning how you can apply these techniques to your own datasets and problems.

Learn neural networks with Gonot math

January 28, 2020

Studying neural networks is a surefire way to end up fighting more math than you can shake a stick at. Wish you could learn about the likes of gradient descent and backpropagation in a language you actually understandlike Go? Then this one is for you. Join Ellen Korbes to learn neural networks with code, not math, and algorithms, not logarithms.

The unreasonable effectiveness of transfer learning on NLP

The unreasonable effectiveness of transfer learning on NLP

January 5, 2020

Transfer learning has been proven to be a tremendous success in computer visiona result of the ImageNet competition. In the past few months, there have been several breakthroughs in natural language processing with transfer learning, namely ELMo, OpenAI Transformer, and ULMFit. David Low demonstrates how to use transfer learning on an NLP application with SOTA accuracy.

Industrialized capsule networks for text analytics

December 30, 2019

Vijay Agneeswaran and Abhishek Kumar offer an overview of capsule networks and explain how they help in handling spatial relationships between objects in an image. They also show how to apply them to text analytics. Vijay and Abhishek then explore an implementation of a recurrent capsule network and benchmark the RCN with capsule networks with dynamic routing on text analytics tasks.
