Details

This course is designed to empower you with the knowledge and skills to analyze vast amounts of language data generated by enterprises worldwide. This language data includes various types of documents, reports, emails, and legal content. You’ll start this course by learning the foundation of natural language processing (NLP) by exploring the fundamental building blocks and techniques used to extract valuable insights from this data. Next, you will dive into linguistic features such as word corpora, tokenization, stemming, lemmatization, and the significance of stop words in NLP. Learn about the practical applications and strengths of several NLP tools, such as NLTK, spaCy, polyglot, Gensim, TextBlob, and CoreNLP. You’ll also discover how to leverage WordNet for extracting synonyms and hypernyms.

Machine learning plays a pivotal role in NLP, and the course delves into ML pipelines and common models used in NLP problem-solving. It presents a real-world example of identifying sarcasm in text and discusses suitable machine-learning techniques. Finally, you will gain hands-on experience in implementing core linguistic features such as POS tagging, named entity recognition (NER), and morphological analysis.

Result

By the end of this course, you will be equipped to harness the power of NLP for extracting insights and solving practical challenges using language data.

Prerequisites

Natural Language Processing: Getting Started with NLP

Enterprises across the world are creating large amounts of language data. There are many different kinds of data with language components including reports, word documents, operational data, emails, reviews, sops, and legal documents. This course will help you develop the skills to analyze this data and extract valuable and actionable insights. Learn about the various building blocks of natural language processing to help in understanding the different approaches used for solving NLP problems. Examine machine learning and deep learning approaches to handling NLP issues. Finally, explore common use cases that companies are approaching with NLP solutions. Upon completion of this course, you will have a strong foundation in the fundamentals of natural language processing, its building blocks, and the various approaches that can be used to architect solutions for enterprises in NLP domains.

Natural Language Processing: Linguistic Features Using NLTK & spaCy

Without fundamental building blocks and industry-accepted tools, it is difficult to achieve state-of-art analysis in NLP. In this course, you will learn about linguistic features such as word corpora, tokenization, stemming, lemmatization, and stop words and understand their value in natural language processing. Begin by exploring NLTK and spaCy, two of the most widely used NLP tools, and understand what they can help you achieve. Learn to recognize the difference between these tools and understand the pros and cons of each. Discover how to implement concepts like part of speech tagging, named entity recognition, dependency parsing, n-grams, spell correction, segmenting sentences, and finding similar sentences. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to build basic NLP applications on any raw language data and explore the NLP features that can help businesses take actionable steps with this data.

Text Mining and Analytics: Pattern Matching & Information Extraction

Sometimes, business wants to find similar-sounding words, specific word occurrences, and sentiment from the raw text. Having learned to extract foundational linguistic features from the text, the next objective is to learn the heuristic approach to extract non-foundational features which are subjective. In this course, learn how to extract synonyms and hypernyms with WordNet, a widely used tool from the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK). Next, explore the regex module in Python to perform NLTK chunking and to extract specific required patterns. Finally, you will solve a real-world use case by finding sentiments of movies using WordNet. After comleting this course, you will be able to use a heuristic approach of natural language processing (NLP) and to illustrate the use of WordNet, NLTK chunking, regex, and SentiWordNet.

Text Mining and Analytics: Machine Learning for Natural Language Processing

Machine learning (ML) is one of the most important toolsets available in the enterprise world. It gives predictive powers to data that can be leveraged to investigate future behaviors and patterns. It can help companies proactively improve their business and help optimize their revenue. Learn how to leverage machine learning to make predictions with language data. Explore the ML pipelines and common models used for Natural Language Processing (NLP). Examine a real-world use case of identifying sarcasm in text and discover the machine learning techniques suitable for NLP problems. Learn different vectorization and feature engineering methods for text data, exploratory data analysis for text, model building, and evaluation for predicting from text data and how to tune those models to achieve better results. After completing this course, you'll be able to illustrate the use of machine learning to solve NLP problems and demonstrate the use of NLP feature engineering.

Text Mining and Analytics: Natural Language Processing Libraries

There are many tools available in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) tool landscape. With single tools, you can do a lot of things faster. However, using multiple state-of-art tools together, you can solve many problems and extract multiple patterns from your data. In this course, you will discover many important tools available for NLP such as polyglot, Genism, TextBlob, and CoreNLP. Explore their benefits and how they stand against each other for performing any NLP task. Learn to implement core linguistic features like POS tags, NER, and morphological analysis using the tools discussed earlier in the course. Discover defining features of each tool such as multiple language support, language detection, topic models, sentiment extractions, part of speech (POS) driven patterns, and transliterations. Upon completion of this course, you will feel confident with the Python tool ecosystem for NLP and will be able to perform state-of-art pattern extraction on any kind of text data.

Text Mining and Analytics: Hotel Reviews Sentiment Analysis

Using natural language processing (NLP) tools, an organization can analyze their review data and predict the sentiments of their customers. In this course, we'll learn how to implement NLP tools to solve a business problem end-to-end. To begin, learn about loading, exploring, and preprocessing business data. Next, explore various linguistic features and feature engineering methods for data and practice building machine learning (ML) models for sentiment prediction. Finally, examine the automation options available for building and deploying models. After completing this course, you will be able to solve NLP problems for enterprises end-to-end by leveraging a variety of concepts and tools.

Course options

We offer several optional training products to enhance your learning experience. If you are planning to use our training course in preperation for an official exam then whe highly recommend using these optional training products to ensure an optimal learning experience. Sometimes there is only a practice exam or/and practice lab available.
