1. Text Preprocessing Fundamentals

We will start our journey with learning and implementing the most common text preprocessing techniques used in NLP to convert the initial raw text into a clean, standardized form.

NLP and Its Applications

Understanding Text Preprocessing

Challenge: Tokenizing a Sentence

Tokenization Using Regular Expressions

Challenge: Tokenizing Using Regex

Removing Stop Words

Applying Text Preprocessing in Practice

2. Stemming and Lemmatization

Without further ado, let's explore stemming and lemmatization. These techniques may enhance efficiency and effectiveness of some NLP tasks, especially when working with large text corpora and treating different words forms as the same word.

Challenge: Stemming the Tokens

Part of Speech Tagging

Lemmatization with POS Tagging

3. Basic Text Models

Preprocessed text should then be transformed into a numerical representation to be used in machine learning or deep learning models for various tasks such as prediction, classification, or clustering. Here, we will learn to implement the most basic yet popular text models that transform text data into numbers.

Challenge: Creating a Bag of Words

Implementing TF-IDF

4. Word Embeddings

Time to unlock the power of word embeddings and delve into advanced techniques for capturing semantic relationships between words. We will explore various embedding models such as Word2Vec, GloVe, and FastText, with a particular focus on the Word2Vec model and its implementation.
