Foundations of AI: The Basics of Natural Language Processing
May 15 @ 1:00 PM EDT - 5:00 PM EDT
In this workshop you’ll learn the basics of Natural Language Processing (NLP): the subfield of AI and data science dedicated to human language.
You’ll also learn:
- How to do basic analyses with unstructured text data
- How to use deep learning to create NLP models from scratch and finally how
- How large language models (LLMs) and Generative AI work and connect to other NLP skills.
We’ll touch on some aspects of deep learning that are specific to NLP, some more basic analyses of unstructured data and how to deal with lots of unlabeled text (e.g. clustering) and basically go deeper on things that are really NLP-related as opposed to AI more generally.
Pre-requisites
Basic Python knowledge required, machine learning knowledge helpful but not required, very basic data science knowledge (i.e. linear regression) is recommended.
