This course introduces the fundamentals of Natural Language Processing (NLP), combining core linguistic concepts with hands-on programming techniques to help you understand how machines process human language. Whether you're new to NLP or looking to build foundational skills, this course provides a clear and practical path into one of the most exciting areas of AI and data science.

Through guided lessons and real-world examples, you'll learn how to clean, structure, and analyze text data, apply feature extraction techniques, and build basic NLP models for tasks like text classification and named entity recognition. By the end of this course, you will be able to: • Understand NLP basics and key language concepts like morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. • Apply text cleaning and preprocessing techniques using NLTK and SpaCy, including tokenization, stemming, lemmatization, and embeddings. • Analyze text features by extracting Bag of Words, TF-IDF, and Word2Vec representations. • Evaluate machine learning models built for text classification. • Create NLP solutions by implementing Named Entity Recognition and syntactic parsing. This course is ideal for beginners, data enthusiasts, and aspiring NLP practitioners who want to gain a strong foundation in natural language processing and its applications in AI. No prior experience with NLP is required. A basic understanding of Python or machine learning concepts will be helpful, but not mandatory. Join us to begin your journey into the world of Natural Language Processing and text analysis with Python!
