Doch zuvor enthüllt er Catherine, dass nur sie mit ihrer außergewöhnlichen Gabe den Papst retten kann.Um das Oberhaupt der katholischen Kirche zu beschützen, wird Catherine in dessen Privathaushalt eingeschleust. Dort entdeckt sie ein unfassbares Geheimnis um den Papst und die kürzlich verstorbenen Geistlichen. Doch was hat ihr Erzfeind Kardinal Ciban damit zu tun?Und was hat es mit dem mysteriösen Evangelium des Judas auf sich? Eine rebellische und medial begabte Franziskanerin: Catherine Bell - eine ungewöhnliche Heldin und zugleich eine moderne und starke Frau, die die katholische Kirche revolutioniert! Ein Verrat, der die Menschheit seit 2000 Jahren vor der Apokalypse bewahrt. Eine Frau, die in Menschen liest wie in einem offenen Buch. Ein Geheimnis, das stärker ist als der Tod.

A short story in a poetic format for young children about a story of a long journey in a far away place.

If you want to build an enterprise-quality application that uses natural language text but arent sure where to begin or what tools to use, this practical guide will help get you started. Alex Thomas, principal data scientist at Wisecube, shows software engineers and data scientists how to build scalable natural language processing (NLP) applications using deep learning and the Apache Spark NLP library.Through concrete examples, practical and theoretical explanations, and hands-on exercises for using NLP on the Spark processing framework, this book teaches you everything from basic linguistics and writing systems to sentiment analysis and search engines. Youll also explore special concerns for developing text-based applications, such as performance.In four sections, youll learn NLP basics and building blocks before diving into application and system building:Basics: Understand the fundamentals of natural language processing, NLP on Apache Stark, and deep learningBuilding blocks: Learn techniques for building NLP applicationsincluding tokenization, sentence segmentation, and named-entity recognitionand discover how and why they workApplications: Explore the design, development, and experimentation process for building your own NLP applicationsBuilding NLP systems: Consider options for productionizing and deploying NLP models, including which human languages to support
