💬Natural-Language-Processing

Sentiment analysis is one of the oldest tasks in natural language processing. In this note we will introduce some examples and terminology, some key problems in the field and a simple model that we can understand by just knowing Backpropagation Log Linear Models and the Softmax Function. We say: Polarity: the orientation of the sentiment. Subjectivity: if it expresses personal feelings. See demo Some applications: Businesses use sentiment analysis to understand if users are happy or not with their product....

This set of note is still in TODO Dependency Grammar has been much bigger in Europe compared to USA, where Chomsky’s grammars ruled. One of the main developers of this theory is Lucien Tesnière (1959): “The sentence is an organized whole, the constituent elements of which are words. Every word that belongs to a sentence ceases by itself to be isolated as in the dictionary. Between the word and its neighbors, the mind perceives connections, the totality of which forms the structure of the sentence....

This note is still a TODO. Transliteration is learning learning a function to map strings in one character set to strings in another character set. The basic example is in multilingual applications, where it is needed to have the same string written in different languages. The goal is to develop a probabilistic model that can map strings from input vocabulary $\Sigma$ to an output vocabulary $\Omega$. We will extend the concepts presented in Automi e Regexp for Finite state automata to a weighted version....
