About the Course

This course will cover the major techniques for mining and analyzing text data to discover interesting patterns, extract useful knowledge, and support decision making, with an emphasis on statistical approaches that can be generally applied to arbitrary text data in any natural language with no or minimum human effort. Detailed analysis of text data requires understanding of natural language text, which is known to be a difficult task for computers. However, a number of statistical approaches have been shown to work well for the "shallow" but robust analysis of text data for pattern finding and knowledge discovery. You will learn the basic concepts, principles, and major algorithms in text mining and their potential applications....

The content of Text Mining and Analytics is very comprehensive and deep. More practise about how formula works would be better. Quiz could be not tough to be completed after attending every lectures.

Very good course with a lot of essential information about problems correlated with text understanding. It give me general look for text mining topic. Some lectures give only overall information about text analysis problem, but it still gives me an opportunity to learn about these listed topics to resolve relevant problems. I recommend this course anyone!

the course is very helpful in giving the overall flavor of text mining and analytics. I would recommend to reduce the number of math work and focus on the conceptual level along with more application that could be used. For the math part, adding optional videos for more details about math will be very useful and helpful

This is an excellent foundational course about text mining. It provides a very solid theoretical foundations and concepts about the subject. The only thing that felt missing, is giving more numerical examples during the video sessions to ease understanding the formulas.

Professor Cheng has a deep knowledge of the subject and presents a diverse topic in a very condensed set of courses. Material is well presented, but some of the quizzes and slides need to be better organized.

This is a very good course. I think it provides a very good foundation of text mining and analytics like PLSA and LDA. More advanced research discussed in the last lecture is also very interesting.

Most of the lessons are mathematical formulae in which, in my opinion, I need more real case study/practice to make myself clearly understand on how do those formulae perform.

The content is really good but the course has too much theory. Mixing it with some practical programming assignments would have been very nice

In-depth description on the algorithms.

Personally I suggest finish the quiz of the nth week after finishing all the video of (n+1)th week.

Nice course for the people who want to acquire knowledge about mostly the theoretical part of certain NLP methods.

Hope the speaker can slow down sometimes.

It will be more helpful if give more real-world examples

Excellent course, but not a deep coverage of more complex text analysis algorithms

老师选择的课题非常丰富 , 讲解的逻辑脉络也非常清晰, 这是许多所谓的大牛教授所无法做到的 。

只是不知道为何, 论坛太过冷清, 里面似乎也没什么 人负责解答问题。
