Overview of this book

Learning how to solve natural language processing (NLP) problems is an important skill to master due to the explosive growth of data combined with the demand for machine learning solutions in production. Natural Language Processing with TensorFlow, Second Edition, will teach you how to solve common real-world NLP problems with a variety of deep learning model architectures. The book starts by getting readers familiar with NLP and the basics of TensorFlow. Then, it gradually teaches you different facets of TensorFlow 2.x. In the following chapters, you then learn how to generate powerful word vectors, classify text, generate new text, and generate image captions, among other exciting use-cases of real-world NLP. TensorFlow has evolved to be an ecosystem that supports a machine learning workflow through ingesting and transforming data, building models, monitoring, and productionization. We will then read text directly from files and perform the required transformations through a TensorFlow data pipeline. We will also see how to use a versatile visualization tool known as TensorBoard to visualize our models. By the end of this NLP book, you will be comfortable with using TensorFlow to build deep learning models with many different architectures, and efficiently ingest data using TensorFlow Additionally, you’ll be able to confidently use TensorFlow throughout your machine learning workflow.

Downloading the data

The MS-COCO dataset we will be using is quite large. Therefore, we will manually download these datasets. To do that, follow the instructions below:

  1. Create a folder called data in the Ch11-Image-Caption-Generation folder
  2. Download the 2014 Train images set (http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/train2014.zip) containing 83K images (train2014.zip)
  3. Download the 2017 Val images set (http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/val2017.zip) containing 5K images (val2017.zip)
  4. Download the annotation sets for 2014 (annotations_trainval2014.zip) (http://images.cocodataset.org/annotations/annotations_trainval2014.zip) and 2017 (annotations_trainval2017.zip) (http://images.cocodataset.org/annotations/annotations_trainval2017.zip)
  5. Copy the downloaded zip files to the Ch11-Image-Caption-Generation/data folder
  6. Extract the zip files using the Extract to option so that it unzips the content within a sub-folder

Once you complete the above...
