Natural Language Processing
Embeddings, Transformers and Language Tasks
About this guide
A concise exam companion for natural language processing. It covers tokenisation and TF-IDF, classical text classification, word embeddings, n-gram and neural language models, recurrent networks, attention and transformers, contextual embeddings, and the core tasks from named entity recognition to translation and question answering, with evaluation, bias and safety. Worked examples are marked the way an examiner marks them, so you can see why an answer earns the grade.
