Who this book is for

This book is for anyone interested in NLP who is seeking to learn about its theoretical and practical aspects alike. The book starts from the basics and gradually progresses to more advanced concepts, making it suitable for an audience with varying levels of prior NLP proficiency, and for those who want to develop a thorough understanding of NLP methodologies to build linguistic applications. However, a working knowledge of the Python programming language and high-school-level mathematics is expected.
