    Natural Language Processing Demystified2022 · ▲286

    Link: https://www.nlpdemystified.org/ Hi HN: After a year of work, I've published my free NLP course.

I strive to balance theory and practice, so every module consists of detailed explanations and slides along with a Colab notebook putting the ideas into practice (in most modules). The notebooks cover how to accomplish everyday NLP tasks including extracting key information, document search, text similarity, text classification, finding topics in…

    Hello HN Over the New Year's break, I created semanticvideosearch.com. This can search any video based on meaning and context. I would love to get your feedback on it.

PS: the inspiration to create this was to get the 2 mins of…

    Hi HN, I am Anubhav from Ramanlabs. We have been working on a native gui application to allow users to search any video data( mp4, mkv) or video streams (http/rtsp) using computer vision. Application is supposed to work like a video player which displays decoded frames and recognizes objects concurrently, making it an interactive experience. It works in super real-time and only expects a quad-core CPU with AVX2 instructions at minimum. Application is free to download (without any signup/account). We are only supporting WINDOWS for now [0]. Even though this is a binary application,…
