Headline: Project-Based Learning: Master Natural Language Processing with Python

Course Description:

🚀 Introduction to NLP Challenges: In the realm of Machine Learning, traditional projects often leverage structured data stored in databases. However, Natural Language Processing (NLP) presents a unique challenge by dealing with unstructured text data at an unprecedented scale. The sheer volume of text - which can span millions of documents and reach into terabytes or even petabytes of data - necessitates innovative solutions to extract meaningful insights.

📘 Understanding the Data: With NLP, unlike structured databases, every word within this vast corpus has the potential to be a feature in your model. This presents a dilemma: how do you manage millions of features? The answer lies in text pre-processing techniques that reduce this immense vocabulary to a manageable size and convert text into binary formats for machine understanding.

🛠️ Text Pre-processing Techniques: This course will guide you through various text pre-processing methods, including:

• Stemming & Lemmatization
• Removing Stop Words
• Position-of-Speech (POS) Tagging
• Bag-of-Words Model
• Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF)

🧠 Machine Learning Models in NLP: After pre-processing, the focus shifts to applying traditional statistical algorithms to train your models. You will delve into:

• Supervised and Unsupervised Learning Techniques
• Binary and Multi-Class Classification
• Sentiment Analysis
• Clustering with LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation)
• Support Vector Machines (SVM) for Text Classification

📈 Real-Life NLP Applications: Through hands-on projects, you'll learn to develop five industry-standard NLP applications. These will cover a broad spectrum of the domain, including:

• Sentiment Analysis
• Research Article Classification
• Hotel Ranking Based on Customer Reviews
• News Summarization
• Topic Modeling
• A Quick Introduction to Natural Language Understanding (NLU)

🏢 Business Impact of NLP: Understanding the business implications of NLP, you'll appreciate how these techniques can drive value. You'll learn:

• To analyze and predict customer sentiment
• To classify and rank different types of text data for various applications
• To summarize news articles efficiently
• To model topics within a corpus of documents
