Overview
What you will learn:
- The Natural Language Processing (NLP) course provided by ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences enables the participants to acquire an understanding of the state-of-the-art methods in NLP with DL (deep learning) and the coding skills to start with NLP projects in life sciences domains on their own.
- The aim of the course is to bring these techniques to practitioners such as data scientists, software developers and research managers. It will enable a hands-on understanding of the state-of-the-art methods and the background theory and programming skills to start on with their own NLP projects.
In terms of specialist content, the course focuses upon the following techniques:
- the main neural networks/deep learning models used in NLP
- the deep learning approach to NLP with several application examples
- programming in Python/Tensorflow
The participants will...
- learn the theory and application of deep learning models used in NLP
- understand the key concepts of the deep learning approach to NLP
- get to know a wide sample of possible application examples
- learn how to approach their own NLP projects
- get the skills in Python and Tensorflow to work on DL-based NLP projects
