Ratings and Reviews for Applied Text Mining in Python

NICE COURSE AND A GOOD INTRODUCTION TO THE NLP ALGORITHMS

IF you want to learn text mining this is the best place for your first step

Interestng topics, well taught.

Me ha ayudado mucho a empezar a realizar mi trabajo de grado. Muchas gracias.

Everything was awesome, assignment 2 was my favorite in a long while in this specialization series. Week 4 was a little weak, and felt rushed. Overall, I enjoyed this course 4 of the 5.

The lecture videos give a nice, basic intro to NLP concepts which are then applied in the assignments. I thought the assignments were good although I found them considerably easier than those of the preceding courses in the specialisation. With this course I had to spend some time reading past participants' posts on the forum because I found some assignment question formulations slightly unclear. Overall, a very nice course.

This is my least favourite course in the specialisation. Natural language processing is an exciting field and I think there is a lot more potential to enthuse and engage students. The instructor scratches the surface of text mining by going through brief sets of codes on ppt slides. I thought it would be meaningful to use more real-world datasets (as in the previous courses in the specialisation) and have students follow through some examples on Jupyter Notebook. I also felt that the exposition by the instructor was not the most intuitive or lucid. It could be much clearer.

Awesome!

Overall I think this is a great course. I learned a lot from it. The assignments for the first three weeks were great in quality, and even though I had to spend some time on some 'unnecessary debugging ' due to their Autotrader every time I submitted my assignments, it actually was not that difficult to figure out. So I think it's still worth it. I gave four stars because I feel the final weeks' content was way too general. The videos in the fourth week only gave an overview of the subject from a very high level, provided no coding examples with real-life data. I feel there was a big gap between what was taught in the lectures and what was required in the assignment of that week. Also, the wording of the last assignment was very unclear. I would recommend this course to others because the first three weeks' content was great and you could learn a ton from the first three weeks' assignments especially.
