Natural Language Processing

From customer-service chatbots to AI-enabled virtual assistants, the demand for technology that employs natural language processing (NLP) is growing at a phenomenal rate. According to Payscale, technology professionals with the training and skills to implement NLP applications now earn an average annual salary of $109,000.

Natural Language Processing, a 10-week online program available through the Executive Education program from Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science, provides both a fundamental understanding of NLP and an overview of its applications.

This 10-week online program will give you a foundational understanding of NLP. After completing the program, you will be able to:

• Learn key machine learning concepts and deep learning methods to build cutting-edge NLP systems in any specific domain

• Develop graphical models for lemmatization - a key step in many NLP tasks

• Synthesize n-gram language models and make qualitative/quantitative comparison of simple to complex n-gram models

• Utilize neural networks to label parts of speech (POS) and named entities (NER) in English and other languages

• Train dependency parsers from treebanks and use them to perform NLP tasks

• Automatically detect phrase structure grammar from tree banks by generating parse trees

Capstone Project: You will use combinations of tools and techniques learned during the program to build a realistic and complete NLP solution. Choose any functional application you are interested in:

• Speech recognition

• Question answering

• Machine translation

• Document summarization

The program is particularly suitable for the following professionals:

• Software developers and other technology professionals seeking a foundational understanding of NLP while adding a credential of repute to their CV

• Data science, data analytics, and machine learning professionals who want a better understanding of NLP
