Syllabus - What you will learn from this course
Working with Sequences
In this module, you’ll learn what a sequence is, see how you can prepare sequence data for modeling, and be introduced to some classical approaches to sequence modeling and practice applying them.
Recurrent Neural Networks
In this module, we introduce recurrent neural nets, explain how they address the variable-length sequence problem, explain how our traditional optimization procedure applies to RNNs, and review the limits of what RNNs can and can’t represent.
Dealing with Longer Sequences
In this module we dive deeper into RNNs. We’ll talk about LSTMs, Deep RNNs, working with real world data, and more.
Text Classification
In this module we look at different ways of working with text and how to create your own text classification models.
Reusable Embeddings
Labeled data for our classification models is expensive and precious. Here we will address how we can reuse pre-trained embeddings to make our models with TensorFlow Hub.
Encoder-Decoder Models
In this module, we focus on a sequence-to-sequence model called the encoder-decoder network to solve tasks, such as Machine Translation, Text Summarization and Question Answering.
Summary
In this final module, we review what you have learned so far about sequence modeling for time-series and natural language data.

Top reviews from Sequence Models for Time Series and Natural Language Processing
Great way to practically learn a lot of stuff. Sometimes, a lot of it starts to go over head. But, it is completely worth the learning curve! Definitely recommend it!
Excellent course for those who know RNN. Knowledge is refreshed and techniques are consolidated. More details about Google ecosystem is introduced.
