Machine Learning & Natural Language Processing - Micro-credential
The first half of this module will introduce the concept of Machine Learning and look at some interesting applications. The theoretical aspects of the subcategories of Machine Learning (Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning, Semi-supervised Learning, Reinforcement Learning, and Deep Learning) will be studied in detail as well as common terminology associated with each. The second half will apply these machine-learning techniques to problems in natural language, looking at the problems of text classification, annotation, translation, and knowledge extraction. In addition, we will cover some useful linguistic fundamentals for understanding the challenges of natural language processing.
