Text Analysis and Natural Language Processing With Python (Udemy.com)

This course gave me a solid foundation in Natural Language Processing. I loved how practical the lessons were — I could follow along and build my own text analysis projects easily.

This course is a confused patchwork of materials that are not helpful to actually learn something. The value is to have a first introduction about a set of topics, with many doubts remaining unexplored. Many lines of coding, functions and packages are not explained and the logic is hard to follow. Also, the materials provided are not adequate and partially missing.

Section 2 is great, with discussion of basic concepts and translation into code. Section 4/5 code doesn't work anymore because terms of service on the sites have been updated and the data is unavailable or paywalled. Section 6/7/8 are ok (the code works) but cleaning processes of the exact same data changes from video to video with no explanation of why. The videos start turning into recitations of the code without much explanation of what/why you are writing it in this way. Section 9 is only useful if you are previously familiar with the models presented and want to see a quick example of their application to text. There is little explanation of choosing good parameters or why one version of a model (or cleaning before a model) might be more effective than another. The code is also inconsistent (a 3-cluster model looks best, but the code is run for 5 clusters), and the videos about Keras are so blurry that they are functionally useless. Section 10 is very random, with only one remotely helpful video (Summarization) which again is mostly reading code off the screen. One of the videos has no sound or transcript (Cleaning), and another (ChatGPT) is only 11 seconds with no content. So yes, you can learn some things about text cleaning and basic analysis (counting, ngrams, plotting, sentiment, clustering) --- but you may not understand what you are doing, why, or how to adjust the code to meet your needs without extensive additional effort.

As a beginner, I found this course very interesting. It is triggering my interest in learning more about text analysis. However, some videos in the later section (specifically section 9) need some revision. It will be great if the instructor takes some more time to explain important steps rather than reading out the codes.

The course is an embodiment of excellence in respect of social media mining, text analysis and natural language processing using Python. The concept can be very useful and effective for practical applications. The instructor's knowledge of the subject is impressive and her delivery is interesting and engaging.
