Natural Language Processing with Python by Steven Bird, Ewan Klein, Edward Loper

By Steven Bird, Ewan Klein, Edward Loper

This e-book bargains a hugely obtainable advent to traditional language processing, the sector that helps quite a few language applied sciences, from predictive textual content and e-mail filtering to automated summarization and translation. With it, you'll how to write Python courses that paintings with huge collections of unstructured textual content. You'll entry richly annotated datasets utilizing a finished diversity of linguistic info buildings, and you'll comprehend the most algorithms for reading the content material and constitution of written communication.

full of examples and routines, Natural Language Processing with Python may also help you:

• Extract details from unstructured textual content, both to wager the subject or determine "named entities"
• examine linguistic constitution in textual content, together with parsing and semantic analysis
• entry well known linguistic databases, together with WordNet and treebanks
• combine recommendations drawn from fields as diversified as linguistics and synthetic intelligence

This publication can help you achieve functional abilities in usual language processing utilizing the Python programming language and the traditional Language Toolkit (NLTK) open resource library. If you're attracted to constructing net functions, examining multilingual information assets, or documenting endangered languages -- or if you're easily curious to have a programmer's viewpoint on how human language works -- you'll locate Natural Language Processing with Python either attention-grabbing and immensely precious.

1: The Protocols, by W. Richard Stevens. It covers, in very fine detail, all of the protocol operations at which this book will only have the space to gesture. There are also other good books on networking in general, and that might help with network configuration in particular if setting up IP networks and routing is something you do either at work or even just at home to get your computers on the Internet. 14 CHAPTER 2 ■ UDP give us good practice with the Python network API before we move on to the additional complications that are brought by the use of TCP.

If you need persistence or a broker, then try one of the message queues that come with their own servers for moving messages between parts of your application. Use UDP only if you really want to be interacting with a very low level of the IP network stack. But, again, be sure to read this whole chapter either way, so that you know the details of what lies beneath some of your favorite protocols like DNS, real-time audio and video chat, and DHCP. 69—to every machine connected to an IP network. In fact, it does a bit more than this: a machine with several network cards connected to the network will typically have a different IP address for each card, so that other hosts can choose the network over which you want to contact the machine.

But at some point the client must decide to re-send, or it risks waiting forever. So rather than letting the operating system leave it forever paused in the recv() call, this client first does a settimeout() on the socket. timeout exception once a call has waited for that long. A call that waits for a network operation to complete, by the way, is said to “block” the caller, and the term “blocking” is used to describe a call like recv() that can make the client wait until new data arrives. When we get to Chapter 6 and discuss server architecture, the distinction between blocking and non-blocking network calls will loom very large!
