Deep Learning Applications in Natural Language Processing and Optimization Strategies

Abstract

In recent years, deep learning has made significant advancements in the field of natural language processing (NLP), driving the development of language understanding and generation tasks. Deep learning utilizes multi-layer neural networks to automatically extract and represent complex data features. This paper first introduces the basic principles of deep learning and mainstream frameworks (such as TensorFlow and PyTorch) and discusses core NLP tasks, including word embedding, language modeling, and text generation. Subsequently, it analyzes specific practices of deep learning applications in text classification, machine translation, automatic summarization, dialogue systems, and speech recognition. Further discussion covers model optimization methods, including structural optimization (such as RNN, LSTM, GRU, and Transformer), data preprocessing and feature engineering, hyperparameter tuning, and accelerated computation. Finally, it explores cutting-edge optimization strategies like federated learning, model compression, self-supervised learning, and transfer learning, proposing future research directions and challenges. This paper aims to systematically analyze the applications and optimization strategies of deep learning in NLP.
