英文原版-Neural Network Methods for Natural Language Processing
2017年新书；英文原版； ABSTRACT Neural networks are a family of powerful machine learning models. is book focuses on the application of neural network models to natural language data. e first half of the book (Parts I and II) covers the basics of supervised machine learning and feed-forward neural networks, the basics of working with machine learning over language data, and the use of vector-based rather than symbolic representations for words. It also covers the computation-graph abstraction, which allows to easily define and train arbitrary neural networks, and is the basis behind the design of contemporary neural network software libraries. e second part of the book (Parts III and IV) introduces more specialized neural net- work architectures, including 1D convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, conditioned-generation models, and attention-based models. ese architectures and techniques are the driving force behind state-of-the-art algorithms for machine translation, syntactic parsing, and many other applications. Finally, we also discuss tree-shaped networks, structured prediction, and the prospects of multi-task learning.
