In the area of visual analytics, natural language has been shown to help improve the overall cognition of visualization tasks. In this latest Data Science Central webinar, Vidya will discuss how natural language can be leveraged in various aspects of the analytical workflow ranging from smarter data transformations, visual encodings, autocompletion to supporting analytical intent. More recently, chatbot systems have garnered interest as conversational interfaces for a variety of tasks. Machine learning approaches have proven to be promising for approximating the heuristics and conversational cues for continuous learning in a chatbot interface. Vidya will explore the implications for these data-driven approaches in broadening the scope for visual analysis workflows. She will also discuss the future directions for research and innovation in this space.

The Main Approaches to Natural Language Processing Tasks by Matthew Mayo via @kdnuggets

Let's have a look at the main approaches to NLP tasks that we have at our disposal. We will then have a look at the concrete NLP tasks we can tackle with said approaches.

Good lists of approaches with examples that are useful for both the learner and the more experienced practitioner to keep on hand to remind you or them all.

The neural history of natural language processing by Sebastian Ruder via @_aylien

Here's a review of the last 15 years of natural language processing (NLP) research.

I love this and think it is worth a read if only to remind yourself on how far we have already come and that judging from the pace of change great things are always possible and coming at some point in the future.

AI & Machine Learning : The Most Used Fundamental Terminology of It via @08DevEsh

Suddenly, artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere. For decades, the dream of creating machines that can think and learn like humans seemed like it would be perpetually out of reach, but now artificial intelligence is embedded in the phones we carry everywhere, the websites we use every day and, in some cases, even in the appliances we use around our homes.

Great list and explanation of terms.

Machine Learning Translation and the Google Translate Algorithm by Daniil Korbut via @statsbotco

Great article explaining the basic principles of machine translation engines using the algorithm in Google Translate to demonstrate it.

I love this - it's really clear and well described.

10 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technologies that will rule 2018 by Biplab Ghosh via Knowstartup

Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we think of technology. It is radically changing the various aspects of our daily life. Companies are now significantly making investments in AI to boost their future businesses.

Great list of technologies that if you have not experienced them yet then you will experience them soon in your working life.

Top 15 Python libraries for data science by @ibobriakov via @Medium

Here's a list of Python libraries for working with data, broken down by: core libraries (like NumPy and pandas) visualisation, machine learning, natural language processing, data mining, and statistics.

If you are learning or are into Python this is an essential list and worth checking in case you missed one.

Alternative Data and Machine Learning by @noelbambrick via @_aylien

The landscape of data is ever-changing, meaning analysts need to evolve both their thinking and data collection methods to stay ahead of the curve. In many cases, data that might have been considered unique, uncommon or unattainably expensive just a few years ago is now widely used and often very affordable.

I love this blog from Aylien. It gives great examples of Alternative Data and the way it can be used. No one can read this without understanding and grasping the possibilities.

WEBINAR: A Natural Language Processing (NLP) Approach to Data Exploration - 31 January 2017

Overview

Title: A Natural Language Processing (NLP) Approach to Data Exploration

Date: Tuesday, January 31, 2017

Time: 09:00 AM Pacific Standard Time

Duration: 1 hour

Summary

A Natural Language Processing (NLP) Approach to Data Exploration

What if you could directly ask questions of your data and the software could respond with a selection, filter, or new visualization? In this DSC webinar, the Tableau Research team explains natural language queries and how they are (already) helping you visualize your data. This presentation includes an introduction to natural language processing (NLP), examples of how NLP is already used in Tableau's geocoding and map search, and a demonstration of some research prototypes that you might see in the not too distant future. Come participate in the discussion and tell us what things you would say to or ask your visualization!
