Recent years have seen a dramatic growth of natural language text data, including web pages, news articles, scientific literature, emails, enterprise documents, and social media such as blog articles, forum posts, product reviews, and tweets. Text data are unique in that they are usually generated directly by humans rather than a computer system or sensors, and are thus especially valuable for discovering knowledge about people’s opinions and preferences, in addition to many other kinds of knowledge that we encode in text.

TOP REVIEWS FROM TEXT RETRIEVAL AND SEARCH ENGINES
Excellent ! Well organized, presented with aptitude to detail. Definitely will recommend and take further units in this specialization.
Thanks Prof
This course is complemented with a software and text (not mandatory) and good explanation with diagrams...
Course was well taught the instructor's explanation of the topics was very comprehensive. Overall satisfied with the experience
The explanation is detailed and clear. But the missing star is because I hoped the course would have programming assignments using popular language as python.
