Introduction to Natural Language Processing (NLP) - Deep Learning
Introduction to Natural Language Processing (NLP) - Deep Learning Course Details:
Deep learning methods are achieving state-of-the-art results to challenging machine learning problems, such as identifying and describing photos and translating text from one language to another. In this highly-focused course, we’ll cut through the excess math, research papers, and patchwork descriptions about natural language processing (NLP) to dive deep into the technology so you gain real-world skills you can immediately leverage on the job.
Working in a hands-on learning environment led by our expert Deep Learning practitioner, using clear explanations and standard Python libraries, you will explore a step-by-step of what natural language processing is, the promise of deep learning in the field, how to clean and prepare text data for modeling, and how to develop deep learning models for your own natural language processing projects.
