Conditional Random Fields (CRFs)
CRFs are a class of statistical modeling methods often used in pattern recognition and machine learning for structured prediction. They are particularly useful in NLP for tasks like POS tagging and named entity recognition.
Support Vector Machines (SVMs)
Support Vector Machines are supervised learning models that can be used for classification and regression challenges. In NLP, they are often used for text categorization tasks due to their effectiveness with high-dimensional data.
Neural Machine Translation (NMT)
NMT is an approach to machine translation that utilizes deep neural networks, and in particular encoder-decoder architectures, to generate translations that are more fluent and accurate.
Part-of-Speech Tagging
It assigns parts of speech to each word in a sentence, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. This helps in understanding grammatical structure and is essential for syntactic parsing.
n-grams
n-gram models are a type of probabilistic model for predicting the next item in a sequence. In NLP, n-grams are contiguous sequences of n items from a given sample of text or speech. They are used in text mining and language modeling.
Decision Trees
Decision trees are a method of machine learning where a model of decisions is made based on the data attributes. In NLP, they can be used for tasks like classification and feature extraction.
Topic Modeling
Topic modeling is a type of statistical model used to discover abstract topics within a collection of documents. Latent Dirichlet Allocation is the most common method used for topic modeling in NLP.
Transformer Model
The Transformer is a deep learning model that uses self-attention mechanisms to weight the significance of different parts of the input data. It's very effective for NLP tasks like translation and text summarization.
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs)
RNNs are a class of neural networks where connections between nodes form a directed graph along a temporal sequence. This allows them to display temporal dynamic behavior, suitable for sequence prediction.
Sequence-to-Sequence Models
Sequence-to-sequence models use an encoder-decoder architecture designed to handle sequence-to-sequence tasks such as machine translation where the input and output are both sequences.
Named Entity Recognition
NER identifies and classifies named entities in text into predefined categories such as the names of persons, organizations, locations, etc. It's critical for information extraction and knowledge graph construction.
Stemming
Stemming is an algorithm used to reduce words to their root form, often by chopping off affixes. It is commonly used in search engines and text analysis to generalize related words.
Latent Semantic Analysis
LSA is a technique to analyze relationships between a set of documents and the terms they contain. It uses singular value decomposition to reduce the number of rows while preserving the similarity structure among columns.
Tokenization
Tokenization is the process of breaking down text into units called tokens, which may be words, phrases, or symbols. It's a fundamental step in preprocessing for NLP tasks.
Bag-of-Words Model
A simplistic representation of text where the text is represented as the bag of its words, disregarding grammar and word order but keeping multiplicity. Widely used in document classification and spam filtering.
Sentiment Analysis
Also known as opinion mining, it determines the emotional tone behind a body of text. This is widely used for brand monitoring, market research, and customer service.
TF-IDF
Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency. It reflects how important a word is to a document in a collection or corpus. It's a statistical measure used for information retrieval and text mining.
Lemmatization
Lemmatization involves reducing words to their lemma, or dictionary form. Unlike stemming, it takes into consideration the morphological analysis of words. Useful for text comprehension algorithms and search tools.
Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT)
BERT is a Transformer-based model designed to understand the context of a word in search queries. By pre-training on a large corpus of text, BERT can be fine-tuned for a wide range of NLP tasks.
Word Embeddings
Word embeddings are dense vector representations of words in a continuous vector space where semantically similar words have similar representations. They are foundational in many NLP models.
