NaturalLanguageProcessing

• Typicalpreprocessingstepso FormvocabularyofwordsthatmapswordstoauniqueIDo Differentcriteriacanbeusedtoselectwhichwordsarepartof

thevocabulary(eg:thresholdfrequency)o Allwordsnotinthevocabularywillbemappedtoaspecial‘out-

of-vocabulary’• Typicalvocabularysizeswillvarybetween10,000and250,000

(Salakhutdinov,2017)

PreprocessingTechniques

• Tokenization• “Iamagirl.”tokenizedto“I”,“am”,“a”,“girl”,“.”

• Lowercaseallwords• RemovingStopWords• Ex:“the”,“a”,“and”,etc

• FrequencyofWords• SetathresholdandmakeallwordsbelowthisfrequencyasUNK

• Add<START>and<EOS>tagatthebeginningandendofsentence.
