Overview of the book

This book has covered the basics of natural language understanding (NLU), the technology that enables computers to process natural language and apply the results to a wide variety of practical applications.

The goal of this book has been to provide a solid grounding in NLU using the Python programming language. This grounding will enable you not only to select the right tools and software libraries for developing your own applications but will also provide you with the background you need to independently make use of the many resources available on the internet. You can use these resources to expand your knowledge and skills as you take on more advanced projects and to keep up with the many new tools that are becoming available as this rapidly advancing technology continues to improve.

In this book, we’ve discussed three major topics:

  • In Part 1, we covered background information and how to get started
  • In Part 2, we went over Python tools...
