Can you do no-code NLP?
A few months ago I wanted to test the Orange3 platform to analyze how a no-code tool works and explore data using Natural Language Processing (NLP).
What do I mean by no-code NLP?
In short: extract knowledge from a corpus of documents without the need to generate code. As simple as that. With all that it implies:
- You do not have to install Python or R.
- No development environments (IDE).
- You focus on the logic of the problem.
Tools I use for no-code NLP
In this field, I have two main tools: KNIME Analytics Platform and Orange Data Mining.
Why do I like these tools?
- Open Source version available.
- Learning curve for a programming beginner is lower.
- Very active development communities.
Results
In my experiments with Orange, I was able to perform Clustering and Topic Modeling tasks quickly and visually, obtaining actionable results in a very short time.
Truly, the no-code movement is democratizing access to advanced technologies like NLP.
