Course content

3 sections • 28 lectures • 2h 6m total length

  • Section Intro2:03
  • Introduction to NLP2:15

    Explore how natural language processing teaches computers to understand human language and translate text across languages. Trace its journey from 1950s machine translation attempts to today's powerful NLP capabilities.

  • NLP Project: Understanding Language Technologies
  • NLP Before Deep Learning7:45

    Trace the history of natural language processing from early rule-based translation to the late 1980s and 1990s rise of statistical models, influenced by the Alpac report.

  • NLP During Deep Learning Era (till 2013)5:23

    Trace how neural networks advanced language modeling, from Bengio's 2003 neural language model with word embeddings to Mikolov's 2013 word2vec, and the rise of RNNs, LSTMs, and CNNs by 2013.

  • NLP During Deep Learning Era (Present)2:33

    Explore sequence-to-sequence learning, including encoder-decoder, attention, and self-attention, then see how pre-trained language models like ChatGPT 3.5 and 4 enable diverse NLP applications.

  • Introduction to Natural Language Processing (NLP)
  • NLP Applications pt15:49

    Explore how natural language processing drives machine translation, automatic summarization, sentiment analysis, and text classification. Discover language detection and authorship attribution, plus challenges in extraction versus abstraction summarization.

  • NLP Applications pt23:42

    Discover conversational agents that converse via text or speech for tasks like customer service or travel advice, and explore evolving dialogue systems from Eliza to Cleverbot.

  • Text Preprocessing4:23

    Explore text preprocessing in natural language processing, including lowercasing, noise removal, tokenization, stopwords, and stemming and lemmatization, and how these steps improve model performance before tasks like sentiment analysis.

  • Tokenization Definition2:03

    Explore tokenization as breaking text into tokens: words, subwords, or characters, and see how each method builds a vocabulary and numeric IDs for natural language processing models.

  • NLP Applications, Text Preprocessing, and Tokenization
  • Word-based Tokenization6:11

    Explore word-based tokenization, using space or punctuation as separators, and how Python's split and libraries like NLTK, Spacy, and Gensim generate tokens, IDs, and vocabulary considerations.

  • Charachter-based Tokenization2:43

    Analyze character-based tokenization, breaking text into individual characters to reduce vocabulary and enable representations for unknown words. Yet its longer sequences and limited character meaning reduce suitability for English.

  • Subword-based Tokenization3:52

    Explore subword-based tokenization as a bridge between word and character methods, addressing vocabulary size and oov tokens, and learn how models like WordPiece use it.

  • Stop words Removal4:02

    Learn how stopwords—common words like articles and prepositions—affect text analysis, when to remove them, and how removal influences sentiment analysis and classification.

  • Tokenization and Stop Word Removal in NLP
  • Stemming4:39

    Standardize text with stemming and lemmatization to prep tokens for language processing tasks like search engines and chatbots, reducing words to a common root while noting porter stemmer drawbacks.

  • Lemmatization2:56

    Lemmatization groups inflected forms by base form and meaning, unlike stemming that trims endings; in natural language processing, it may use positional inputs like adjective, noun, or verb.

  • Part of Speech Definition2:18

    Learn how part of speech tagging assigns word classes like nouns and verbs to words in context, and how machine learning enables automatic tagging to train nlp tools.

  • POS Tagging Importance, Techniques and Challenges5:36

    Explore how pos tagging clarifies sentence structure and word meaning, boosting machine translation, NER, and text classification. Compare rule-based, stochastic, and hybrid methods while noting ambiguity and out-of-vocabulary challenges.

  • Stemming, Lemmatization, and Part of Speech Tagging in NLP
  • Bag of Words5:36

    Explore the bag of words method to turn text into numbers by counting word frequencies, enabling embedding via word or document vectors for fixed-size input in NLP tasks.

  • BOG Benefits and Limitations3:23

    Assess the bag of words model for its simplicity and speed, while noting it is not great for tasks requiring understanding of word relationships or context.

  • TF-IDF Definition2:32

    Discover how tf-idf scores word importance by combining term frequency and inverse document frequency in a document. See how this NLP technique highlights relevant words across a corpus.

  • TF-IDF Advantages and Limitations4:39

    Learn how tf-idf weights words by frequency and rarity across a corpus, with steps to calculate tf, df, idf, and the resulting document scores.

  • How TF-IDF Works4:09

    Discover how tf-idf measures term importance by weighing document and corpus frequencies, supporting large text collections and providing interpretable scores while reducing stop-word impact.

  • Bag of Words and TF-IDF in NLP
