About the Course

This course will introduce the learner to text mining and text manipulation basics. The course begins with an understanding of how text is handled by python, the structure of text both to the machine and to humans, and an overview of the nltk framework for manipulating text. The second week focuses on common manipulation needs, including regular expressions (searching for text), cleaning text, and preparing text for use by machine learning processes. The third week will apply basic natural language processing methods to text, and demonstrate how text classification is accomplished. The final week will explore more advanced methods for detecting the topics in documents and grouping them by similarity (topic modelling). This course should be taken after: Introduction to Data Science in Python, Applied Plotting, Charting & Data Representation in Python, and Applied Machine Learning in Python....

Quite challenging but also quite a sense of accomplishment when you finish the course. I learned a lot and think this was the course I preferred of the entire specialization. I highly recommend it!

Excellent course to get started with text mining and NLP with Python. The course goes over the most essential elements involved with dealing with free text. Definitely worth the time I spent on it.

The course wasn't totally bad but it definitely wasn't as good as the first three. I felt I was thrown in with insufficient tools to cope with the assignments. Relying on the internet is important but in these cases, you have to rely on it quite heavily. On assignments 1 and 3 in particular, Upon final submitting, I felt I didn't learn much at all.

Specifically with regexs, I feel extremely insecure with my regex skills and that is an understatement. I don't think that is something that should happen after a text mining course.

The following remark *isn't* a crucial one: For a non-native English speaker understanding the language could sometimes pose an obstacle. Now, decoding the lecturer's accent is yet another obstacle on top of the former. Lecturer with an American accent will obviously be the best choice.

The content of this course has great potential, but needs significant refinement. The lectures, while delivered with enthusiasm, were very theoretical/academic and provided little in the way of preparation for the more practical exercises. The disconnect between lectures and assignments, coupled with technical challenges (autograder glitches) were frustrating. The only support came from one dedicated volunteer Coursera Mentor; the instructor cadre was absent or unavailable to students throughout the four week period. The topics of text mining and Natural Language Processing are central to data science, and deserve better instruction than this course delivered.
