Hola Jesus

Sorry to contact you here but I can find no other way.

Is this course based on the axa-group nlp.js node module?
https://github.com/axa-group/nlp.js

Thanks

Hello @macasas , This course uses NLP.js, but also Brain.js and Tensorflow.js. Is not a course about chatbots, it's about Conversational AI, and explain all kind of metrics (confusion matrix, accuracy, precision, recall...), and also how to develop a perceptron and a dense neural network from scratch. It's in udemy.

Thank you, I found the course on Udemy, and in your preview it look like the axa nlp.js but I want to confirm this, because nlp is a very generic term, and node modules are well known for having similar names. It used to be node-nlp, then nlp.js, so I want to be sure it is the same module.

if I search for nlp.js, node nlp or similar, I end up with axa-group nlp.js but its not clear if this is the only one.

You also have a repo called nlp.js. Is this the same as axa-group? Is this the node module you are using in the course?

Please confirm which NLP.js

The course is about Natural Language Processing using Javascript. To achieve that, the classifiers are done with different technologies: Brain.js, Tensorflow.js, Microsoft LUIS, NLP.js neural network (one of the libraries of NLP.js) and creating a perceptron and neural network from scratch without any dependency. Then those classifiers are compared. The course includes usage of lot of libraries from axa-group/nlp.js, like the normalizers, tokenizers, stemmers, neural network, benchmark, confusion matrix... Finally, the last module of the course is about creating a Q&A web chatbot using NLP.js

About the node-nlp and NLP.js thing: axa-group/nlp.js name was always NLP.js, but in npm this name was already taken, so the library was published as node-nlp. Versions 1.x, 2.x and 3.x were monolithic, so the name of the package was node-nlp. Since version 4, this is no longer monolithic, and it's splitted into more than 80 libraries (example, 41 libraries one for each language). One of this 80+ libraries is node-nlp, that is still there for retrocompatibility with people that used previous versions or for people that feels more confortable with "having it all in a library" approach.

Okay, muchas gracias Jesus. Me parece muy bien, exactamente lo que busco. :-)
