Practical NLP Techniques: Word Embeddings, Transformers, and Chatbots

Understanding Word Embeddings and Semantic Similarity

Word embeddings are numerical representations of words that capture their semantic meaning and relationships. These techniques are fundamental in Natural Language Processing (NLP), enabling machines to understand and process human language more effectively. The following examples demonstrate how to work with word embeddings using Gensim and custom implementations.

Gensim Word Vectors: Semantic Relationships

Gensim is a popular Python library for

Partition Coefficient

The partition coefficient is the ratio of concentrations of a compound between two immiscible liquids, such as octanol and water, at equilibrium.

Bioisosteres

Bioisosteres are molecules or functional groups that have similar shapes and electronic properties, often producing similar biological effects. They can be used to modify the structure of a lead compound to improve its potency, selectivity, or pharmacokinetic properties.

Classification of Bioisosteres

  • Classical Bioisosteres

Discrete Mathematics & Probability Essentials

Probability Fundamentals

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of successful outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes. Every probability problem involves a probability space, which consists of:

  • Sample Space: A non-empty, countable set containing all possible outcomes of an experiment.
  • Probability Function: A function that maps each outcome to its probability. The sum of probabilities for all outcomes in the sample space must equal 1.
