Overview of this book

Natural Language Processing (NLP) allows you to take any sentence and identify patterns, special names, company names, and more. The second edition of Natural Language Processing with Java teaches you how to perform language analysis with the help of Java libraries, while constantly gaining insights from the outcomes. You’ll start by understanding how NLP and its various concepts work. Having got to grips with the basics, you’ll explore important tools and libraries in Java for NLP, such as CoreNLP, OpenNLP, Neuroph, and Mallet. You’ll then start performing NLP on different inputs and tasks, such as tokenization, model training, parts-of-speech and parsing trees. You’ll learn about statistical machine translation, summarization, dialog systems, complex searches, supervised and unsupervised NLP, and more. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned more about NLP, neural networks, and various other trained models in Java for enhancing the performance of NLP applications.

N-grams

N-grams is a probabilistic model used for predicting the next word, text, or letter. It captures language in a statistical structure as machines are better at dealing with numbers instead of text. Many companies use this approach in spelling correction and suggestions, breaking words, or summarizing text. Let's try to understand it. N-grams are simply a sequence of words or letters, mostly words. Consider the sentence "This is n-gram model" It has four words or tokens, so it's a 4-gram; 3-grams from the same text will be "This is n-gram" and "is n-gram model". Two words are a bigram, and one word is a unigram. Let's try this using Java with OpenNLP:

        String sampletext = "This is n-gram model";
System.out.println(sampletext);

StringList tokens = new StringList(WhitespaceTokenizer...
