Program was fantastic. it was a challenge too complete it while working. It will be nice to be granted access permanently to the material so we can deepen (or even to remember it). My year anniversary is coming up soon: will I loose access then?
I has matched a lot of my expectations
good, but i was expecting more
Fine. I'm learning a lot of theoretical and practical concepts very useful to real projects
Lots of new concepts to learn. Effective teaching methods.
Great!

This program offers a deep dive into modern Natural Language Process techniques. Mastering these skills will prepare you to build applications involving written and spoken language. We’ve collaborated with leading innovators such as IBM and Amazon to create our world-class curriculum, and you’ll learn from an instructor team comprised of experts from both Udacity and industry professionals. Massive growth is being predicted for the Natural Language Processing software market, making now the perfect time to enter this field.
In this program, you’ll develop and refine specialized skills in natural language processing and voice user interfaces. The curriculum is not designed to prepare you for a specific job; instead, the goal is that you’ll expand your skills in the natural language processing domain. Growth predictions are extremely high for this market, and having these in-demand skills will significantly enhance your ability to advance your AI career.
If your goal is to become an expert in Natural Language Processing (NLP), this program is ideal for you. Over the course of this program, you’ll become an expert in the main components of NLP, including speech recognition, sentiment analysis, and machine translation. You’ll learn cutting edge probabilistic and deep learning models, code them and train them on real data, and build a career-ready portfolio as an NLP expert!
No. This Nanodegree program accepts all applicants regardless of experience and specific background.
To succeed in this Nanodegree program, we recommend you first take any course in Deep Learning equivalent to our Deep Learning Nanodegree program. You also need to be able to communicate fluently and professionally in written and spoken English.
Additionally, you should have the following knowledge:
Intermediate Python programming knowledge, including:
Basic shell scripting:
Basic statistical knowledge, including:
Intermediate differential calculus and linear algebra, including:
We have a number of courses and programs we can recommend that will help prepare you for the program, depending on the areas you need to address. For example:
The Natural Language Processing Nanodegree program is comprised of content and curriculum to support three (3) projects. We estimate that students can complete the program in three (3) months, working 10 hours per week.
Each project will be reviewed by the Udacity reviewer network. Feedback will be provided and if you do not pass the project, you will be asked to resubmit the project until it passes.
Access to this Nanodegree program runs for the length of time specified in the payment card above. If you do not graduate within that time period, you will continue learning with month to month payments. See the Terms of Use and FAQs for other policies regarding the terms of access to our Nanodegree programs.
Please see the Udacity Nanodegree program FAQs for policies on enrollment in our programs.
If you would like to explore other applications for convolutional and recurrent neural networks, and have an interest in computer vision, then consider enrolling in the Computer Vision Nanodegree program. If you are looking for additional advanced topics in AI, the Robotics Engineer and Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree programs could be ideal for you. And regardless of your future career destination, you’ll find that the Artificial Intelligence Nanodegree program is full of valuable content that will serve you well in almost any AI role.
You will need a computer running a 64-bit operating system (most modern Windows, OS X, and Linux versions will work) with at least 8GB of RAM, along with administrator account permissions sufficient to install programs including Anaconda with Python 3.5 and supporting packages. Your network should allow secure connections to remote hosts (like SSH). We will provide you with instructions to install the required software packages. Udacity does not provide any hardware or software.
