Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Software can do far more than follow fixed rules. It can classify messages, understand documents, extract important information, search by meaning, generate useful responses, and improve through carefully controlled feedback.But building a promising prototype is only the beginning.Developing Smart Applications with AI and Language Technologies shows you how to turn intelligent capabilities into reliable, maintainable, and production-ready software.Designed around practical implementation rather than dense mathematical theory, this book takes you from a clearly defined business problem to a complete working solution. You will learn not only how models work, but how data, architecture, evaluation, APIs, security, deployment, monitoring, and human oversight fit together.Inside, you will learn how to: - Translate real business requirements into measurable technical tasks- Prepare trustworthy datasets and prevent common data-quality problems- Build practical text classifiers using scikit-learn- Process real-world text using spaCy- Understand transformer models without unnecessary mathematical complexity- Work with PyTorch and Hugging Face Transformers- Build embeddings and semantic-search capabilities- Design vector-based retrieval architectures- Extract names, dates, organizations, obligations, and other structured information from documents- Use generative models behind clear and controlled software boundaries- Build retrieval-augmented generation workflows grounded in trusted organizational knowledge- Design safer feedback loops for continual improvement- Evaluate accuracy, robustness, fairness, and real business usefulness- Serve predictive capabilities through FastAPI endpoints- Track experiments, versions, releases, and model lifecycles- Package services with Docker and prepare them for production- Monitor performance, latency, failures, cost, and model behavior- Protect sensitive information and control access to intelligent servicesThe book concludes with a complete capstone project that combines classification, extraction, semantic retrieval, grounded generation, feedback, evaluation, versioning, API serving, security, and monitoring into one integrated architecture.Whether you are a beginner, Python developer, software engineer, data practitioner, career switcher, or working professional, this book provides a practical path from your first intelligent feature to dependable production systems.You do not need advanced calculus or research-level mathematics. What you need is a willingness to build, test, measure, and improve.Move beyond isolated demonstrations and learn how to engineer intelligent software that can survive real users, changing data, evolving requirements, and production demands.…
