Description
This course takes you from a beginner level to being able to understand NLP concepts, linguistic theory, and then practice these basic theories using Python - with very simple examples as you code along with me.

Get experience doing a full real-world workflow from Collecting your own Data to NLP Sentiment Analysis using Big Datasets of over 50,000 Tweets.

Data collection: Scrape Twitter using: OSINT - Open Source Intelligence Tools: Gather text data using real-world techniques. In the real world, in many instances you would have to create your own data set; i.e source your data instead of downloading a clean, ready-made file online

Use Python to search relevant tweets for your study and NLP to analyze sentiment.

Language Syntax: Most NLP courses ignore the core domain of Linguistics. This course explains the fundamentals of Language Syntax & Parse trees - the foundation of how a machine can interpret the structure of s sentence.

New to Python: If you are new to Python or any computer programming, the course instructions make it easy for you to code together with me. I explain code line by line.

No Installs, we go straight to coding - Code using Google Colab - to be up-to-date with what's being used in the Data Science world 2021!

The gentle pace takes you gradually from these basics of NLP foundation to being able to understand Mathematical & Linguistic (English-Language-based, Non-Mathematical) theories of Deep Learning.

Who this course is for:
Anyone who is curious about data science & NLP
Those who are in the Business & Marketing world - learn use NLP to gain insight into customers & products. Can help at interviews & job promotions.
If you intend to enrol in an NLP/Data Science course but are a total newbie, complete this course before to avoid being lost in class since it can seem overwhelming if classmates already have a foundation in Python or Datascience.
