Deep Learning for Text with PyTorch

This chapter introduces you to deep learning for text and its applications. Learn how to use PyTorch for text processing and get hands-on experience with techniques such as tokenization, stemming, stopword removal, and more. Understand the importance of encoding text data and implement encoding techniques using PyTorch. Finally, consolidate your knowledge by building a text processing pipeline combining these techniques.

Explore text classification and its role in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Apply your skills to implement word embeddings and develop both Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) for text classification using PyTorch, and understand how to evaluate your models using suitable metrics.

Venture into the exciting world of text generation and its applications in NLP. Understand how to leverage Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), and pre-trained models for text generation tasks using PyTorch. Alongside, you'll learn to evaluate the performance of your models using relevant metrics.

Understand the concept of transfer learning and its application in text classification. Explore Transformers, their architecture, and how to use them for text classification and generation tasks. You will also delve into attention mechanisms and their role in text processing. Finally, understand the potential impacts of adversarial attacks on text classification models and learn how to protect your models.
