This course extensively introduces the widely used Python library spaCy for natural language processing (NLP). It covers spaCy basics, such as tokenization and part-of-speech tagging, as well as advanced topics like custom model training and NLP pipeline creation. 

The course has three parts: 
Part 1 focuses on spaCy’s fundamentals, architecture, installation, and setup. It teaches common NLP tasks like tokenization, named entity recognition (NER), part-of-speech (POS) tagging, and dependency parsing. 

Part 2 delves into spaCy’s features, covering syntax and semantics. It explores pattern matching and semantics via word vectors and thoroughly discusses statistical information extraction techniques. 

Part 3 examines advanced topics, including developing complex NLP models that require expertise, analysis, and practical experience. Multiple experiments with various NLP tasks are conducted, including customizing statistical models to meet specific needs.
