Text Processing

This course is designed to empower you with essential skills for effectively handling text data in the context of natural language processing (NLP). You’ll embark on a transformative journey that will equip you with a solid foundation in text manipulation, enabling you to tackle the challenges of unstructured data. 

The course discusses both fundamental and advanced text preprocessing techniques. You’ll learn how to clean text and remove noise, irrelevant characters, and inconsistencies in text data. Once the data is ready for analysis, you’ll learn text normalization techniques such as stemming, lemmatization, and casing. In addition to mastering preprocessing fundamentals, you’ll also learn techniques such as bag-of-words (BoW) and term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF).

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to position yourself for success in a data-centric world where the ability to extract meaning from unstructured textual information is a prized skill.
