Course Description
Welcome aboard your inaugural voyage into the vibrant world of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Text Mining! This course offers a risk-free foray (backed by a 30-day refund policy) into the fundamental concepts that serve as the bedrock for the text data operations of tech giants like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.
Text mining has become a cornerstone of modern Data Science and Analytics. The profound leap in technology that allows a machine to understand words and phrases has revolutionized tasks like Information Retrieval, Translation, and Text Classification. I'm here to help you navigate these waters and jump from the foundational aspects of classical NLP into the misterious realms of Generative AI Tools (such as ChatGPT).
Our journey will take us from the classical to the neural, exploring the evolution of language processing techniques. We'll begin with traditional statistical methods and work our way up to the cutting-edge world of deep learning and neural networks. By linking theory with practical exercises, I hope to guide you through the NLP World.
Don't fret if Python isn't your forte yet - included in this course is a crash course in Python that will acquaint you with the language and provide the necessary foundation for the rest of the topics we'll cover.
The course will illuminate a variety of key NLP concepts including:
Manipulating the basic building blocks of NLP - strings - in Python;
Tokenizing Sentences and Documents;
Stemming and Lemmatizing words;
Training machine learning models using text;
Extracting the Part-of-Speech Tag from words in a sentence;
Extracting Text Data from a Web Page;
Training a Neural Network to extract Word Embeddings;
Developing your own sentiment classifier (Sentiment Analysis);
Representing Sentences as Tabular Data;
Upon completing this course, you'll be equipped with the skills to construct your own basic NLP applications, and you'll have a strong understanding of the fundamental concepts underlying most NLP algorithms. This knowledge will open doors to more advanced studies in NLP, while providing an understanding of the strategies and techniques utilized by companies when launching their NLP applications.
Embark on this exhilarating journey through the world of NLP with me. Whether you're a newcomer or an expert seeking to broaden your horizons, there's a place for you here. I'm eagerly looking forward to our adventure together in the course!

Very organised, takes you step-by-step from absolute zero to understanding basic and advanced concepts, it has material for two semesters. Explanation 1000 times better than my professors. More for linguists and other humanities than for programmers. Best if you follow along and copy each step on your own (even better if you use your own corpus, something you like).

I'm enjoying the scope of the course, Ivo goes through it at the right speed although sometimes slides are brushed past and his facecam can cover the content. Other than that, the applications at the end to work on the material yourself are really cool and challenging.

This course was very informative. I appreciated the projects and extra assignments, they provided a hands-on experience with the material that was taught. I liked the instructor’s choice to include an embedded video, it made the course feel more like a virtual in-person class rather than an online course. I also liked the focus on core concepts, which were explained very clearly. Overall, it was an informative and helpful course.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and found it to be highly insightful. The instructor did an excellent job breaking down complex concepts into easily digestible parts. The examples provided were practical, and the hands-on exercises really helped solidify my understanding. I particularly appreciated the clear explanations and the step-by-step approach throughout the lessons. This course exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their knowledge in this subject. Truly a 5-star experience!

i like this course, the teacher himself is engineer, this is important, many teachers with good reviews are not engineer, the knowledge they teach is different than real knowledge

This course is my first look at Natural Language Processing. I appreciate that the instructor took the time out to explain many of the NLP concepts. The explanations were enough to get the concepts, but not so in depth that a beginner would get lost. The Python basics section was good as well.

The video of your face is overlaying content in the slides as you are speaking. You may want to just remove your face from the video while you are presenting slides.
By Orlov Fedir on 4/9/2023
I really like this course. It starts from the basics and smoothly goes deeper and deeper. I like the way teacher explains things, it's clear and simple. 100% recommended!
By Deepak Tripathy on 2/14/2023
It is a nice short course to understand the basics of NLP. Ido is a good instructor who has designed a simple course to get through NLP basics for beginners. It would be nice to add some more topics related to Deep Learning in NLP. Thanks..
By Diego Rossini on 5/23/2022
Good course. I like how it is structureted. But I have to admit that sometimes variables naming was confusing. For example, in some videos there's "context_word" and "word_contex" as two different variables in the same function.
