Pantry of Knowledge

What I do is mostly concepts, ideas and practices.
Most of the information in the head of each of us is borrowed, and our own thoughts are the result of compilation: it cannot be otherwise, this is how the human brain and the principles of thinking work.
In this section I would like to share information that is valuable to me personally.

Natural Language Processing

Natural Language Processing tutorial (in Russian)
NLP is not only Neuro-linguistic programming, which is still considered a pseudoscientific method.
But first of all, NLP is Natural Language Processing.
