Convolutional Methods for Text – Tal Perry – Medium

Over the last three years, the field of NLP has gone through a huge revolution thanks to deep learning. The leader of this revolution has been the recurrent neural network and particularly its manifestation as an LSTM. Concurrently the field of computer vision has been reshaped by convolutional neural networks. This post explores what we "text people" can learn from our friends who are doing vision. To set the stage and agree on a vocabulary, I'd like to introduce a few of the more common tasks in NLP.
