Understanding Natural Language Processing: The Basics..!!
Hey there, If you have been following my blogs, You may be wondering why I keep on creating new series of blogs every now and then.
Someone once told me, If you want to learn about something start teaching it to others. While I am not good at 1:1 teaching or creating youtube videos, I chose to blog as my medium of teaching.
While I chose front-end and git as my initial topics for my blogs because I felt I was already good at them and that helped me gain initial confidence but now I blog while I learn and hence my frequency of new blogs has been a bit on the lower side.
Around the start of the year 2022, I made a switch from a full-time front-end engineer to Natural Language Processing (NLP) Engineer in my current organization. I started learning more about the NLP technologies that were being widely used. I got introduced to Stanford NLP, BERT, and related technologies.
While I was getting comfortable with all of these, Chatgpt started to gain traction and everyone was talking about it and that is when I got introduced to terms like transformer learning, self-supervised learning, etc. It is when I decided to re-learn the concepts of Natural Language Processing (NLP) that I started this series.
