Fundamentals of NLP: From Tokenization to Semantics

Part-of-Speech Tagging in NLP

Part-of-Speech (POS) Tagging is the process of assigning a specific grammatical category (such as noun, verb, adjective, or adverb) to each word in a text, based on its definition and context.

Applied Physics Cheat Sheet: Mechanics and Thermal Physics

Applied Physics Cheat Sheet (Ch. 7–17)

Side A — Mechanics

Work

Work: The product of force and displacement in the direction of the force.

Important ideas:

  • No displacement → no work
  • Force perpendicular to motion → no work

Formula: W = Fd

Units: Joules (J)

Power

Power: The rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.

Formula: P = W / t

Units: Watts (W)

Energy

Energy: The ability to do work.

Energy can change forms, but total energy remains constant (Conservation of Energy).

Forms include:

  • Kinetic
  • Potential
  • Thermal
  • Chemical
  • Nuclear
