Natural Language Processing with TensorFlow by Ganegadara

I actually started to read this book last year. I went through most of it and experimented a lot but had no time to write. I finally read the last chapter, which I had somehow put off. All in all, it is a useful book on using TensorFlow for NLP.

It offers a good exploration of what Word2Vec is. It goes on to CNNs first with image recognition and then with sentence classification, then it does a good initial cover of LSTMS and finally it touches very briefly some trends.

I think I would have skipped the NLP introduction, but then I have worked on NLP almost all of my life. Ganegadara should not have gone so long on WordNet etc. As much as it was an usual tool, it still might be, a paragraph would have been enough.

It was a pity the last part, the one I left until now on trends, was so short but then the technology and even the basics on what deep learning is about are changing so fast!
