Natural Language Processing in Tech for Good applications
By IBM Developer
How can computers interpret something so human and nuanced like language? How can algorithms identify and mitigate racial bias in text & data? How can they be used to identify patterns, classify documents and simplify text analysis tasks?
This workshop introduces Natural Language Processing in Python and sheds light on how computers interpret language.
🎓 What you will learn
Attendees will be introduced to:
- NLTK and Gensim that will help them tokenise, process and represent textual data to derive useful insights.
- Machine Learning applications like text classification, sentiment analysis and topic modeling.
👩💻 Who should attend:
- Developers, Coders, Programmers of all skill levels
- People interested in building solutions using Natural Language Programming
🎈 Prerequisites:
- Curious minds! Bring your laptop, the rest happens in the cloud.
