Live Training: NLP Fundamentals in Python



We'll start by defining natural language processing (NLP) and exploring its uses. We'll see how NLP is biased and how to proactively reduce bias. We'll understand the process of tackling NLP problems, including cleaning text data and converting it so that we build models with text data. We'll cover vectoriżers, hyperparameters, and pipelines. You'll come away with a full understanding of how to tackle an NLP problem.


All of this will be done in Python! You'll know how to do these things in Python because we'll do them together. If you don't have a strong Python background right now or if you don't know much about machine learning yet, that's OK! We'll assume no prior knowledge and get you set up. This is perfect for beginners, those who want to learn how to do these things in Python, and/or those who want to refresh their skills.
