Natural Language Processing (NLP) is used for processing and analysing natural language. NLP is rapidly evolving in line with new approaches, toolsets, and the increase of data availability.
In this introductory course, we will cover the basics of NLP topics including:
- the process of “cleaning” a dataset
- how to explore a dataset
- how to apply simple feature engineering techniques to transform the data – this will help you expand your analytical capabilities
Who this course is for
This course is aimed at learners who are not experts in natural language processing, but are familiar with code in R.
