This course has been designed for people interested in extracting meaning from written English text, though the knowledge can be applied to other human languages as well.

The course will cover how to make use of text written by humans, such as blog posts, tweets, etc...

For example, an analyst can set up an algorithm which will reach a conclusion automatically based on extensive data source.

It is estimated that unstructured data accounts for more than 90 percent of all data, much of it in the form of text. Blog posts, tweets, social media, and other digital publications continuously add to this growing body of data.

This course centers around extracting insights and meaning from this data. Utilizing the R Language and Natural Language Processing (NLP) libraries, we combine concepts and techniques from computer science, artificial intelligence, and computational linguistics to algorithmically understand the meaning behind text data. Data samples are available in various languages per customer requirements.

By the end of this training participants will be able to prepare data sets (large and small) from disparate sources, then apply the right algorithms to analyze and report on its significance.

Audience
Linguists and programmers

Format of the course
Part lecture, part discussion, heavy hands-on practice, occasional tests to gauge understanding

By the end of the training the delegates are expected to be sufficiently equipped with the essential python concepts and should be able to sufficiently use NLTK to implement most of the NLP and ML based operations. The training is aimed at giving not just an executional knowledge but also the logical and operational knowledge of the technology therein.

This course introduces linguists or programmers to NLP in Python. During this course we will mostly use nltk.org (Natural Language Tool Kit), but also we will use other libraries relevant and useful for NLP. At the moment we can conduct this course in Python 2.x or Python 3.x. Examples are in English or Mandarin (普通话). Other languages can be also made available if agreed before booking.

TensorFlow™ is an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs.

SyntaxNet is a neural-network Natural Language Processing framework for TensorFlow.

Word2Vec is used for learning vector representations of words, called "word embeddings". Word2vec is a particularly computationally-efficient predictive model for learning word embeddings from raw text. It comes in two flavors, the Continuous Bag-of-Words model (CBOW) and the Skip-Gram model (Chapter 3.1 and 3.2 in Mikolov et al.).

Used in tandem, SyntaxNet and Word2Vec allows users to generate Learned Embedding models from Natural Language input.
