Natural Language Processing - Embeddings and Text Preprocessing in Python: Master text preprocessing and vector models in Python for powerful NLP applications [Video]
From basic NLP definitions to advanced vector models and neural embeddings
Practical coding demos and interactive exercises for real-world application
These topics provide a robust understanding of NLP essential for tackling complex NLP tasks and enhancing data processing skills
Description
In this course, you will embark on a journey through the fundamental concepts and practical applications of Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Python. Starting with basic definitions, you'll quickly move into understanding the importance of vector models in NLP. Our videos will guide you through essential techniques such as tokenization, stemming, lemmatization, and the use of stopwords, ensuring you grasp the intricacies of text preprocessing.
As you progress, you'll delve deeper into advanced vector models. Learn about the Bag of Words model, Count Vectorizer, and TF-IDF, both in theory and through hands-on coding demonstrations. You'll also explore the fascinating world of vector similarity and word-to-index mapping, equipping you with the knowledge to handle complex text data. An interactive exercise on recommender systems will challenge you to apply these concepts in a practical scenario.
The course culminates with an introduction to neural word embeddings, providing a glimpse into the future of NLP. You'll see these powerful techniques in action and understand how they can be applied to various languages beyond English. Additionally, the course includes valuable resources on setting up your Python environment and extra help with Python coding, making it suitable for learners at different skill levels.
