Description
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is used for processing and analysing natural language. With the new approaches and toolsets converge with ever-increasing data availability, NLP is rapidly evolving.
In this introductory course, we will cover the basics of NLP topics including the process of ‘cleaning’ a dataset, exploring it, and applying simple feature engineering techniques to transform the data which will help you for expanding your analysis capabilities.
This introductory course on natural language processing is aimed at learners who are not experts in natural language processing but have familiarity with code in R.
