Systems and Tools to Use NLP and LLMs: Getting Started
摘要
This chapter introduces essential systems and tools for leveraging various natural language processing (NLP) tasks and large language models (LLMs) in qualitative analysis, emphasizing accessibility for noncoders. It begins with an overview of the Python programming language and introduces tools such as the Pandas library, integrated development environments (IDEs), Jupyter notebooks, and application programming interfaces (APIs) for accessing LLMs. A second section provides a hands-on guide for setting up a computer environment, with step-by-step code examples designed to familiarize readers with NLP libraries and LLMs. It emphasizes the acquisition of programming skills to better adapt and utilize LLM capabilities for qualitative data analysis while providing multiple resources for further learning.
