What to look for in a Natural Language Processing freelancer
A strong NLP engineer should understand both classic techniques and modern transformers. Look for:
- Experience with libraries you will use: spaCy, Hugging Face, or NLTK.
- A feel for messy real text: tokenization, encoding, and cleaning edge cases.
- Judgment on model choice: when a small classifier beats a large language model.
- Solid evaluation practice: precision, recall, and error analysis on real examples.
- Shipped text features, not just benchmark experiments.
Share a few sample documents and ask how the candidate would approach extracting the fields you care about.
