Workshop: Introduction to NLP using NLTK and Python
Location:
- Bayview A
When:
- Friday
Prerequisites
Blogs, product reviews, news articles, physician reports, tweets - the digital universe provides a wealth of data analysis resources in the form of relatively untapped unstructured text.
This hands-on session will introduce attendees to the Natural Language ToolKit (NLTK), a Python-based library with a robust set of natural language processing (NLP) functionality.
The talk will guide attendees through several modules designed to demonstrate the use of various NLP techniques to analyze and explore real-world text-based data sets. Attendees will leave the talk equipped with the foundation and techniques to extract meaningful and useful information from their own data.
Key takeaways:
- Introduction to natural language processing and text analytics
- Hands-on experience with a robust NLP library in python
- Application of NLP techniques on real-world data
