Course Lessons

Lesson 1

Introduction to Computing With Natural Language

An introduction of the course outline and prerequisite.

Lesson 2

Feature extraction and embeddings

Transform text using methods like Bag-of-Words, TF-IDF, Word2Vec and GloVE to extract features that you can use in machine learning models.

Lesson 3

Topic Modeling

In this section, you'll learn to split a collection of documents into topics using Latent Dirichlet Analysis (LDA). In the lab, you'll be able to apply this model to a dataset of news articles.

Lesson 4

Sentiment Analysis

Learn about using several machine learning classifiers, including Recurrent Neural Networks, to predict the sentiment in text. Apply this to a dataset of movie reviews.

Lesson 5

Sequence to Sequence

Here you'll learn about a specific architecture of RNNs for generating one sequence from another sequence. These RNNs are useful for chatbots, machine translation, and more!

Lesson 6

Deep Learning Attention

Attention is one of the most important recent innovations in deep learning. In this section, you'll learn attention, and you'll go over a basic implementation of it in the lab.

Lesson 7

RNN Keras Lab

This section will prepare you for the Machine Translation project. Here you will get hands-on practice with RNNs in Keras.

Lesson 8 • Project

Project: Machine Translation

Apply the skills you've learned in Natural Language Processing to the challenging and extremely rewarding task of Machine Translation.
