What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

The book shines in several aspects like:■ It provides a comprehensive overview of classic to emerging topics in NLP, complemented with stand-alone hands on reusable code recipies for each concept.■ The book presents a survey of several relevant algorithms with synopsis. This can be useful to guide your use-case specific research.■ The book has used JINA as framework to illustrate various illustrative examples on search and there are tutorials to give you a jumpstart with JINA.■ Beyond text the book also delves into into multi-modal search (image and audio search). The book does reasonably good in marrying the whole subject within the fundaental underpinnings of NLP.■ In future editions, I would like to see more coverage on transformers/BERT/SBERT based search systems.

If you are interested in learning more about Neural Search or Jina I think this book would be a great addition to your library. I really enjoyed the author's thought and explanations, like their explanations of Neural search, vector representations and LSH.Over the years I have used used several different methods and libraries, for neural search. Both for research and in production. I had very high hopes for Jina especially using clip and subindicies (not covered in book), subindicies allow you to have multiple documents ( images, text, audio, etc) under that same parents. If your interested you can fine more information in the jina docs.Jina attempts to simplify neural search projects by doing a lot of the work for you, wrapping everything in very nice objects like docarrays. These objects makes Jina great for beginners or software engineers, but I found it challenging to customize when the defaults didn't meet my needs.I am not a huge fan of Jina Flow, which attempts to wrap everything together into an easy to use flow, it could be because of my lack of understanding but it just didn't seem worth the hassle, since I can make all the pieces outside of Jina flows or jina.I have high hopes for future of Jina, it could be a great tool for so many projects. That is why I would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the subject. I would have like to see more examples of how you can customize Jina, outside of Jina flows. I would have also loved to learn more about vector databases, both inside and outside of Jina.

Neural search is a big thing. I really enjoy reading this book and it covers an ever-growing industry nationwide. The traditional neural search algorithms have pros and cons, and that's where this book starts with. Then it dives into the math and provides a technical overview of the major painspot and where things can be improved before it covers the proposed pipeline using Jina AI platform.> The book provides powerful tools to finetune tedious machines and each component it relies on. The proposed platform will also help to fill in the gap.> The book helps you understand the fundamentals of neural search algorithms. Not only that the book also outlines the strengths and weaknesses.> The book also allowed me to become familiar with using the Jina AI code blocks which is highly modularized and easily deployable.

The book is divided into three parts and introduces Neural Search with Jina. The first part introduces Neural Search, including the foundation of vector representation. The second part is my favorite which introduces the fundamentals of Jina. It includes how to encode multimodal documents and cross-model searches. The final part shows how to implement Jina for Neural Search. Including fashion image search and concurrent querying and indexing of data.Overall the book is around 175 pages and forms a good introduction. I would recommend referring to other Packt books for an advanced and detailed understanding of Jina

Great book for beginners who wish to setup production level neural search from scratch.Best part is it takes the reader from introduction to traditional neural search and whole evolution till state of the art algorithms.Moreover using jina.ai framework it gets way easy to setup, develop and scale.

Neural Search - From Prototype to Production with Jina: Build deep learning–powered search systems that you can deploy and manage with ease
