by Mona M (Author), Premkumar Rangarajan (Author)

Work through interesting real-life business use cases to uncover valuable insights from unstructured text using AWS AI services

Key Features:

• Get to grips with AWS AI services for NLP and find out how to use them to gain strategic insights
• Run Python code to use Amazon Textract and Amazon Comprehend to accelerate business outcomes
• Understand how you can integrate human-in-the-loop for custom NLP use cases with Amazon A2I

Book Description:

Natural language processing (NLP) uses machine learning to extract information from unstructured data. This book will help you to move quickly from business questions to high-performance models in production.

To start with, you'll understand the importance of NLP in today's business applications and learn the features of Amazon Comprehend and Amazon Textract to build NLP models using Python and Jupyter Notebooks. The book then shows you how to integrate AI in applications for accelerating business outcomes with just a few lines of code. Throughout the book, you'll cover use cases such as smart text search, setting up compliance and controls when processing confidential documents, real-time text analytics, and much more to understand various NLP scenarios. You'll deploy and monitor scalable NLP models in production for real-time and batch requirements. As you advance, you'll explore strategies for including humans in the loop for different purposes in a document processing workflow. Moreover, you'll learn best practices for auto-scaling your NLP inference for enterprise traffic.

Whether you're new to ML or an experienced practitioner, by the end of this NLP book, you'll have the confidence to use AWS AI services to build powerful NLP applications.

What You Will Learn:

• Automate various NLP workflows on AWS to accelerate business outcomes
• Use Amazon Textract for text, tables, and handwriting recognition from images and PDF files
• Gain insights from unstructured text in the form of sentiment analysis, topic modeling, and more using Amazon Comprehend
• Set up end-to-end document processing pipelines to understand the role of humans in the loop
• Develop NLP-based intelligent search solutions with just a few lines of code
