Text data belongs to the unstructured category of data. When developing deep network models, we need to complete additional preprocessing steps due to the unique nature of such data. In this chapter, you will learn about the steps you'll need to follow to develop text classification models using deep neural networks. This process will be illustrated with easy– to– follow examples. Text data, such as customer comments, product reviews, and movie reviews, plays an important role in businesses, and text classification is an important deep learning problem.
In this chapter, we will discuss two text datasets, learn how to prepare text data when developing deep network classification models, look at IMDb movie review data, develop a deep network architecture, fit and evaluate the model, and discuss some tips and best practices...
