Natural Language Processing (NLP) encompasses a variety of techniques designed to enable computers to understand and process human languages. In this post you’ll learn about NLP applications like text classification and sentiment analysis, plus NLP techniques like tokenization and stemming.

After a discussion on the two primary methods of statistical inference, viz. hypothesis tests and confidence intervals, it is shown that these two methods are actually equivalent.

Activation functions play an important role in neural networks and deep learning algorithms. A common activation function is the hyperbolic tangent function, which is like the trigonometric tangent function, but defined using a hyperbola rather than a circle.
