spaCy VS PythonDataScienceHandbook

Hi Community, In this article, I will demonstrate below steps to create your own chatbot by using spaCy (spaCy is an open-source software library for advanced natural language processing, written in the programming languages Python and Cython):

SpaCy: An open-source library providing tools for advanced NLP tasks like tokenization, entity recognition, and part-of-speech tagging.

In this article, I'm going to walk through a sentiment analysis project from start to finish, using open-source Amazon product reviews. However, using the same approach, you can easily implement mass sentiment analysis on your own products. We'll explore an approach to sentiment analysis with one of the most popular Python NLP packages: spaCy.

Spacy [0] is a state-of-art / easy-to-use NLP library from the pre-LLM era. This post is the Spacy founder's thoughts on how to integrate LLMs with the kind of problems that "traditional" NLP is used for right now. It's an advertisement for Prodigy [1], their paid tool for using LLMs to assist data labeling. That said, I think I largely agree with the premise, and it's worth reading the entire post.

The steps described in "LLM pragmatism" are basically what I see my data science friends doing — it's hard to justify the cost (money and latency) in using LLMs directly for all tasks, and even if you want to you'll need a baseline model to compare against, so why not use LLMs for dataset creation or augmentation in order to train a classic supervised model?

I chose spacy. Although it's not state of the art, it's very well established and stable.

Python Data Science Handbook

Python Data Science Handbook — learn to use Python libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn, and related tools to effectively store, manipulate, and gain insight from data

I don't know what tools you will be using but if you will be using Python you can start with Python Data Science Handbook by Jake VanderPlas and Data Science & Big Data Analytics: Discovering, Analyzing, Visualizing and Presenting DataData Science & Big Data Analytics: Discovering, Analyzing, Visualizing and Presenting Data which gives a very good outlook on the data science and big data frame work. PS: Jake's book is also available as jupyter notebooks so you can read and run the code at the same time.

Otherwise you can work through courses on Datacamp, Coursera, Udemy, etc, or check out this book for a more general non-spatial perspective.

7. Data Science Handbook Are you looking for a comprehensive guide to data science with Python? Look no further than the Data Science Handbook by Jake VanderPlas. This repository contains the entire book, which introduces essential tools and techniques used in data science, including IPython, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Scikit-Learn. It’s a fantastic resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of data science concepts and best practices.
