Natural Language Processing in Python

Duration: 25:51
Updated: 03 Jul 2011

Shankar Ambady of Session M will give a tutorial on the Python NLTK (Natural Language Tool Kit). Shankar had previously presented a comprehensive overview of the NLTK last December at the Python meetup. The Python NLTK is a very powerful collection of libraries that can be applied to a variety of NLP applications such as sentiment analysis. His presentation from last December may be found here (click on Boston Python Meetup Materials) : http://www.shankarambady.com/ http://microsoftcambridge.com/Events/TwitterTextMining/tabid/784/Default.aspx

Natural Language Processing with Julia

Duration: 26:33
Updated: 09 Aug 2014

Presented by Pontus Stenetorp at JuliaCon 2014. Link to Slides: http://goo.gl/rPxSGr Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for technical computing, with syntax that is familiar to users of other technical computing environments. It provides a sophisticated compiler, distributed parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and an extensive mathematical function library. The library, largely written in Julia itself, also integrates mature, best-of-breed C and Fortran libraries for linear algebra, random number generation, signal processing, and string processing. In addition, the Julia developer community is contributing a number of external packages through Julia's built-in package manager at a rapid pace.

Deep Natural Language Semantics - Raymond Mooney

Duration: 51:59
Updated: 26 Nov 2014

Distinguished Lecture Series November 4, 2014 Raymond Mooney: "Deep Natural Language Semantics by Combining Logical and Distributional Methods using Probabilistic Logic" Traditional logical approaches to semantics and newer distributional or vector space approaches have complementary strengths and weaknesses.We have developed methods that integrate logical and distributional models by using a CCG-based parser to produce a detailed logical form for each sentence, and combining the result with soft inference rules derived from distributional semantics that connect the meanings of their component words and phrases. For recognizing textual entailment (RTE) we use Markov Logic Networks (MLNs) to combine these representations, and for Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) we use Probabilistic Soft Logic (PSL). We present experimental results on standard benchmark datasets for these problems and emphasize the advantages of combining logical structure of sentences with statistical knowledge mined from large corpora.

People-centric Natural Language Processing (David Bamman)

Duration: 69:54
Updated: 25 Mar 2015

People-centric Natural Language Processing Speaker: David Bamman March 11, 2015, South Hall, UC Berkeley http://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/newsandevents/events/20150311 Machine learning and natural language processing provide a framework for extracting meaning from text, and have given us great advances over the past fifty years in areas as diverse as machine translation, question answering, and information retrieval. Many of the written texts that we apply these techniques to — news articles, emails, social media, books — are the product of a profoundly social phenomenon with people at its core. People are the authors of text, they are its audience, and often the subject of that text itself: news articles detail the roles of actors in current events, social media (including Twitter and Facebook) documents the actions and attitudes of friends, and books chronicle the stories of fictional characters and real people alike. In this talk, I will present a set of probabilistic models that learn patterns of identity and behavior in descriptions of people in text. Unsupervised models of biographical structure allow us to learn the way different life events (such as graduating high school, marriage, and becoming a citizen) are described in text, along with the typical times in a person's life when they occur; and unsupervised models of personas allow us to learn abstract entity types from the stereotypical actions they perform. This work reveals large-scale patterns in descriptions of people while also uncovering implicit biases of the authors; I argue that developing computational models that capture the complexity of the interaction of people with text will yield deeper, socio-culturally relevant descriptions of these actors, and that these deeper representations open the door to socially-aware language technologies that have a more useful understanding of the world. Bio: David Bamman is a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. His research applies natural language processing and statistical machine learning to empirical questions in the humanities and social sciences. David has published in collaboration with co-authors in English, linguistics, classics, and Near Eastern studies, and designed and co-taught an interdisciplinary (English/computer science) course at CMU on “Digital Literary and Cultural Studies,” for which he received Carnegie Mellon's 2014 Alan J. Perlis Teaching Award. Prior to CMU, David was a senior researcher in computational linguistics at the Perseus Project of Tufts University.

ArrrrCamp 2014- Natural Language Processing with Ruby

Duration: 27:29
Updated: 14 Nov 2014

By, Konstantin Tennhard Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the art and science of making sense of user-generated data. It is a combination of state-of-the-art computer science techniques and linguistics. Being able to analyze plain text data allows us to gain a lot of insights. Popular NLP tasks are text summarization, keyword extraction or automatic extraction of the author's opinion from a text. In the age of social media, only NLP provides solutions to analyze what users are really care about. Companies such as Google or Facebook invest millions in NLP solutions to harvest information from all the data they have been gathering over the years. In this talk, I will present you a real-world NLP problem. We will discuss this problem from both the linguistic and the computer science perspective. Throughout the talk, we will develop a processing pipeline to efficiently solve this problem in an automated fashion. An NLP pipeline usually consists of multiple components, each solving one aspect of the problem and presenting its own challenges. Among other things, you will learn how to tackle the following essential NLP problems using JRuby and OpenNLP: sentence segmentation, tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, and named entity recognition.
