Course Overview
NLP with Python - Analyzing Text with the Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) - Natural Language Processing (NLP) Tutorial
This Natural Language Processing (NLP) tutorial covers core basics of NLP using the well-known Python package Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK). The course helps trainees become familiar with common concepts like tokens, tokenization, stemming, lemmatization, and using regex for tokenization or for stemming. It discusses classification, tagging, normalization of our input or raw text. It also covers some machine learning algorithms such as Naive Bayes.
After taking this course, you will be familiar with the basic terminologies and concepts of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and you should be able to develop NLP applications using the knowledge you gained in this course.
What is Natural Language Processing (NLP)?
Natural language processing, or NLP for short, is the ability of a computer program to understand, manipulate, analyze, and derive meaning from human language in a smart and useful way. By utilizing NLP, developers can organize and structure knowledge to perform tasks such as automatic summarization, translation, named entity recognition, relationship extraction, sentiment analysis, speech recognition, topic segmentation, and spam detection.
What is NLTK?
The Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) is a suite of program modules and data-sets for text analysis, covering symbolic and statistical Natural Language Processing (NLP). NLTK is written in Python. Over the past few years, NLTK has become popular in teaching and research.
NLTK includes capabilities for tokenizing, parsing, and identifying named entities as well as many more features.
This Natural Language Processing (NLP) tutorial mainly cover NLTK modules.
About the course
This Natural Language Processing (NLP) tutorial is basically designed to make you understand the fundamental concepts of Natural Language Processing (NLP) with Python, and we will be learning some machine learning algorithms as well because natural language processing and machine learning move hand in hand as NLP employs machine learning techniques to learn and understand what a sentence is saying, or what a user has said and it sends an appropriate response back.
So, by the end of this course, I hope you will have a clear idea, a clear view of the core fundamental concepts of NLP and how we can actually make applications using these core concepts.
Looking forward to seeing you in the course.

Wasn't sure how good this was going to be after the first 3 resources wouldn't load however, wow, did it get better!! Essentially, one of the best training courses I've done so far. It brings together, python, regex, machine learning & more. It has allowed me to complete a project that I have been working on for some time by giving me the missing pieces. Thank you and highly recommended! Peter

The videos are easy to follow and mostly well-explained. The code is useful and clear. There are a few mistakes here and there, though, and most of the content is based on the Bird et al. (2009) NLP textbook rather than original material.

Overall this was an effective and succinct course. Some of the example files do not match the intuition or discussion. While not a big deal, you will need to follow along and not rely upon the example files. If you do, you will most likely miss something in the discussion. Some of the code also needs tuning, syntax (typos). Fixing the small issues is a great exercise if you want to learn. If you want to passively watch and not participate, by writing the code along side the discussion, you will definitely miss some great learning opportunities.

Perfect for those that are starting NLP from scratch, the content is complete, and is very well explained. Missing some more complete python/jupyter files, btw.
