Abstract
Deep learning and machine learning continues to proliferate throughout various industries, and has revolutionized the topic that I wish to discuss in this book: natural language processing (NLP).

Typically, this would refer to tasks such as understanding the sentiment of text, speech recognition, and generating responses to questions.
