Mastering spaCy

کشف روش‌های پیشرفته کار با spaCy، شامل طراحی پایپ‌لاین‌های سفارشی، یکپارچه‌سازی با مدل‌های زبانی بزرگ (LLM) و آموزش مدل‌ها برای ساخت راهکارهای پردازش زبان طبیعی (NLP) به شکلی مؤثر و کارآمد

ویژگی‌های کلیدی:

• ساخت پایپ‌لاین‌های کامل پردازش زبان طبیعی، از توسعه محلی تا استقرار نهایی با استفاده از Weasel و FastAPI
• تسلط بر توسعه NLP بدون نیاز به آموزش مدل با spaCy-LLM، از مهندسی پرامپت تا ساخت وظایف سفارشی
• طراحی راهکارهای پیشرفته NLP، از ساخت کامپوننت‌های اختصاصی تا پیاده‌سازی هم‌مرجع‌سازی عصبی (Neural Coreference Resolution)

معرفی کتاب:

کتاب “Mastering spaCy – نسخه دوم” راهنمای جامع شما برای ساخت برنامه‌های پیچیده پردازش زبان طبیعی با استفاده از اکوسیستم spaCy است. این نسخه بازنگری‌شده، جدیدترین پیشرفت‌های حوزه NLP را پوشش می‌دهد و شامل فصل‌هایی تازه درباره مدل‌های زبانی بزرگ (LLM) با spaCy-LLM، یکپارچه‌سازی با مدل‌های ترنسفورمر، و مدیریت پایپ‌لاین‌های کامل با Weasel می‌باشد.

در این نسخه، یاد می‌گیرید چگونه با استفاده از spaCy-LLM، وظایف NLP را با کمک مدل‌های زبانی بزرگ تقویت کنید، پایپ‌لاین‌ها را با Weasel مدیریت کنید و spaCy را با کتابخانه‌هایی مانند Streamlit، FastAPI و DVC ترکیب نمایید. از آموزش پایپ‌لاین‌های سفارشی NER گرفته تا تحلیل احساسات در پست‌های Reddit، خواننده با مباحث پیشرفته‌ای مانند طبقه‌بندی متن و هم‌مرجع‌سازی نیز آشنا می‌شود.

کتاب با مفاهیم پایه‌ای NLP مانند توکنیزه‌کردن، تشخیص موجودیت‌های نام‌دار (NER)، و تجزیه وابستگی‌ها آغاز می‌شود و به‌تدریج به موضوعاتی پیشرفته مثل ساخت کامپوننت‌های سفارشی، آموزش مدل‌های تخصصی برای دامنه‌های خاص، و پیاده‌سازی پایپ‌لاین‌های مقیاس‌پذیر NLP می‌پردازد.

در پایان کتاب، با بهره‌گیری از مثال‌های کاربردی، توضیحات شفاف و نکات عملی، توانایی ساخت پایپ‌لاین‌های قدرتمند NLP و یکپارچه‌سازی آن‌ها با اپلیکیشن‌های وب را خواهید داشت، تا بتوانید راهکارهای کامل و عملیاتی بسازید.
