Nowadays, companies are increasingly interested in integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning into their operations. Machine learning which is the ability of a system to learn from large data sets rather than following predefined rules offers a number of advantages. For example in financial services it allows creating predictive models for fraud prevention in the marketing sector and allows retailers to offer better suggestions to their customers. Further in this article we will learn about the various machine learning frameworks based on Python: Python Libraries for Natural Language Processing: Currently, Python is one of the most popular languages to work in the field of Artificial Intelligence. To address the problems related to Natural Language Processing Python provides us with the following libraries. Google TensorFlow: Like Microsoft’s DMTK, Google TensorFlow is an automatic learning framework designed to scale across multiple nodes. As with Google’s Kubernetes, it was built to solve problems internally in Google, and Google has finally chosen it to launch it as an open source product. TensorFlow implements what are called data flow diagrams, where data batches (“tensors”) can be processed by a series of algorithms that are described by a graph.


The movements of the data through the system are called “flows” – hence the name. Graphics can be assembled with C ++ or Python and can be processed in CPUs or GPUs. Google’s long-term plan is for TensorFlow to be developed by third-party contributions. Spacy – NLP Framework Spacy is a framework for anyone who wants to dive headlong into the NLP area. This framework contains several templates and a professional architecture for working with various NLP tasks. In addition, this allows integration with other libraries, which makes it something interesting for jobs involving Deep Learning. To install Spacy on Linux use the pip command: pip install -U Spacy If you have problems with dependencies install the packages below and this should be enough: sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev git On Windows you need the Visual C++ Build Tools package installed and here’s how to download and install.


Sklearn Scikit-Learn is the main library that exists to work with Machine Learning, it includes the implementation of a large number of learning algorithms. We can use it for classifications, feature extraction, regressions, groupings, dimension reduction, model selection, or preprocessing. It has an API that is consistent in all models and integrates very well with the rest of the scientific packages offered by Python. This library also facilitates the tasks of evaluation, diagnosis and cross validation since it provides us with several factory methods to perform these tasks in a very simple way. Gensim Gensim is a robust toolkit of open source and topical vector modeling tools implemented in Python. Gensim is specifically designed to handle large collections of text by using efficient data flow and incremental algorithms which differentiate it from most other scientific software packages that only focus on batch processing and memory. Gensim includes implementations of tf-idf algorithms, random projections, word2vec & document2vec algorithms, hierarchical Dirichlet processes (HDP), latent semantic analysis (LSA) and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) including distributed parallel versions. Gensim has been used and cited in more than 500 commercial and academic applications. The software has been covered in several new articles podcasts and interviews since 2009. We recommend the same to out clients who Hire Python Developer from our agency.


Neon Nervana, a company that is building its own deep learning hardware and software platform has offered a framework for deep learning called Neon as an open source project. It uses plug-in modules to allow heavy work to be done on the CPU, the GPU, or on Nervana’s own custom hardware. Neon is written mostly in Python with a few pieces in C++ for speed. This makes it immediately available to others working in data science in Python or to most other frameworks that have Python links. Version 2.0 has a lot of refactorings and new features including many new types of algorithms and changes in existing ones to speed up or downgrade them. There is a disadvantage since many years there is a lack of links for any language other than C++ and users of everything from R to Python can not use mlpack unless launches their own wrappers of those languages. Work has been done to add MATLAB support but projects of this type tend to enjoy greater absorption when they are directly useful in the main in which the machine learning work is carried out. Following are some more interesting NLP libraries based on Python: TextBlob: TextBlob simplifies text processing by providing an intuitive interface to NLTK. It has a smooth learning curve at the same time that has a surprising number of functionalities.


NLTK: It is the leading library for Natural Language Processing. It provides easy-to-use interfaces to more than 50 corpora and lexical resources, along with a set of text processing libraries for classification, tokenization, labeling, analysis and semantic reasoning. Stanford CoreNLP: Package developed by Stanford University, for many it constitutes the state of the art on the traditional techniques of Natural Language Processing. Although it is written in Java, it has an interface with Python. Textacy: This is a high level library designed on Spacy with the idea of facilitating even more the tasks related to Natural Language Processing. pyLDAvis: This library is designed to help users interpret the topics that arise from a topic analysis. It allows us to visualize in a very simple way each of the topics included in the text. As we will see, the NLP is also adding to the popularity of Deep Learning which is why many of the frameworks used in Deep Learning can be applied to make NLP models.
