Preparing a dataset for NLP applications

In this section, we will look at the basic steps that can help you prepare a dataset for NLP or any data science applications. There are basically three steps for preparing your dataset, given as follows:

• Selecting data
• Preprocessing data
• Transforming data

Selecting data

Suppose you are working with world tech giants such as Google, Apple, Facebook, and so on. Then you could easily get a large amount of data, but if you are not working with giants and instead doing independent research or learning some NLP concepts, then how and from where can you get a dataset? First, decide what kind of dataset you need as per the NLP application that you want to develop. Also, consider the end...
