TOP REVIEWS FROM TEXT MINING AND ANALYTICS
The content was very useful, and the preparation of the course denoted much care and preparation by the teacher. I would love to see some modern topics like word embeddings covered in the course!
It is rare to find an online course that explains the statistics and intuition behind text mining and machine learning algorithm!
My favorite course and my favorite instructor. Highly informative. I wish i want to be a real student of the instructor.
Prof. Zhai's textbook is well-worth the added investment. His Coursera lectures helped me to "read between the lines."
