I am interested in the NLP space. Which language has wider collection of libraries that are mature ? Also, what is a good source to understand the literature (algorithms) in the area of NLP.
I'd recommend python and the NLTK package, which has a corresponding book [0] that will bring you up to speed on the major points without skimping on the conceptual details along the way. And there's a lot of good work going on in python, like pyTorch & TensorFlow.
But anyone looking to do serious work that skips the type of content covered in NLTK Book in favor of jumping in to DNNs is doing themself & their ambitions an extreme disservice.
