Starting with the basics, this book teaches you how to choose from the various text pre-processing techniques and select the best model from the several neural network architectures for NLP issues.

"Most current textbooks were written some years ago and, as with many other areas of technology and manufacturing, CAD/CAM processes and solutions have developed rapidly in this period. This book addresses the need to a) provide up-to-date coverage of current CAD/CAM usage and implementation and b) provide a single source integrating the entire design-to-manufacture process, reflecting the industry trend to further integrate CAD and CAM into a single,...

"The first step in sequential decision problems is to understand what decisions are being made. It is surprising how often it is that people faced with complex problems, which spans scientists in a lab to people trying to solve major health problems, are not able to identify the decisions they face. We then want to find a method for making decisions. There are at least 45 words in the English language that are equivalent to "method for making a decision,"...
