Graph Learning and Network Science for Natural Language Processing

Advances in graph-based natural language processing (NLP) and information retrieval tasks have shown the importance of processing using the Graph of Words method. This book covers recent concrete information, from the basics to advanced level, about graph-based learning, such as neural network-based approaches, computational intelligence for learning parameters and feature reduction, and network science for graph-based NPL. It also contains information about language generation based on graphical theories and language models.Features:Presents a comprehensive study of the interdisciplinary graphical approach to NLPCovers recent computational intelligence techniques for graph-based neural network modelsDiscusses advances in random walk-based techniques, semantic webs, and lexical networksExplores recent research into NLP for graph-based streaming dataReviews advances in knowledge graph embedding and ontologies for NLP approachesThis book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in computer science, natural language processing, and deep and machine learning.

Muskan Garg is a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Florida, USA, whose research focuses on the problems of natural language processing (NLP), information retrieval, and social media analysis. She received her Masters and Ph.D. from Panjab University, India. Her current focus is on research and development of cutting-edge NLP approaches to solving problems of national and international importance and on initiation and broadening a new program in NLP (including a new NLP course series). Her current research interests are causal inference, mental health on social media, event detection, and sentiment analysis.Amit Kumar Gupta is an Assistant Professor at Manipal University Jaipur, India, and has more than 15 years of teaching as well as research experience.
