This is a book review of Text Analytics with Python: A Practical Real-World Approach to Gaining Actionable Insights from your Data by Dipanjan Sarkar

这是有关使用Python进行文本分析的书评： Dipanjan Sarkar提出的一种从数据中获取可行见解的实用现实方法

One of my go-to books for natural language processing with Python has been Natural Language Processing with Python: Analyzing Text with the Natural Language Toolkit by Steven Bird, Ewan Klein, and Edward Loper.  This has been the book for me and was one of my dissertation references.  I used this book so much, that I I had to buy a second copy of this book because I wore the first one out.  I’ve read many other NLP books but haven’t found any that could match this book – till now.

我使用Python进行自然语言处理的热门书籍之一是《使用Python进行自然语言处理：使用自然语言工具包分析文本》，作者是 Steven Bird，Ewan Klein和Edward Loper。 这是给我的书，也是我的论文参考之一。 我用了这么多书，以至于我不得不买第二本书，因为我把第一本书都穿了。 我读过许多其他NLP书籍，但直到现在都找不到与这本书匹配的书籍。

Text Analytics with Python: A Practical Real-World Approach to Gaining Actionable Insights from your Data by Dipanjan Sarkar is a fantastic book and has now taken a permanent place on my bookshelf.

使用Python进行文本分析：一种实用的现实世界方法，可从您的数据中获取可行的见解 Dipanjan Sarkar是一本很棒的书，现在已经在我的书架上占据了永久位置。

Unlike many books that I run across, this book spends plenty of time talking about the theory behind things rather than just doing some hand-waving and then showing some code. In fact, there isn’t any code (that I saw) until page 41. That’s impressive these days.   Here’s a quick overview of the book’s layout:

与我读过的许多书不同，这本书花了大量时间谈论事物背后的理论，而不仅仅是挥舞双手然后展示一些代码。 实际上，直到第41页都没有任何代码（我看到的）。这些天令人印象深刻。 这是本书布局的快速概述：

• Chapter 1 provides the baseline for Natural Language. This is a very good overview for anyone that’s never worked much with NLP.
• Chapter 2 is a python ‘refresher’. If you don’t know python at all but know some other language, this should get you started enough to use the rest of the book.
• Chapter’s 3 – 7 is there the real fun begins. These chapters cover Text Classification, Summarization Similarity / Clustering and Semantic / Sentiment Analysis.

• 第1章提供了自然语言的基础。 对于从未使用过NLP的人来说，这是一个很好的概述。
• 第2章是python“刷新器”。 如果您根本不了解python，但了解其他语言，则应该可以使您开始使用本书的其余部分。
• 第三章至第七章是真正的乐趣开始的地方。 这些章节涵盖了文本分类，摘要相似度/聚类和语义/情感分析。

If you have some familiarity with python and NLP, you can jump to Chapter 3 and dive into the details.

如果您对python和NLP有所了解，则可以跳至第3章，并深入研究细节。

What I really like about this book is that it places theory first.  I’m a big fan of ‘learning by doing’ but I think before you can ‘do’ you need to know ‘why’ you are doing what you are doing.  The code in the book is really well done as well and uses the NLTK,  Sklearn and gensim libraries for most of the work. Additionally, there are multiple ‘build your own’ sections where the author provides a very good overview (and walk-through) of what it takes to build your own functionality for your own NLP work.

我真正喜欢这本书的地方在于它将理论放在第一位。 我是“边做边学”的忠实拥护者，但我认为在“可以做”之前，您需要知道“为什么”在做自己在做的事情。 本书中的代码确实做得很好，并且使用NLTK，Sklearn和gensim库完成了大部分工作。 此外，还有多个“构建自己的”部分，作者在其中提供了很好的概述（和演练）以介绍如何为自己的NLP工作构建自己的功能。

This book is highly recommended.

强烈推荐这本书。
