NLP with Python — Text Intelligence in Practice

Build pipelines that understand language, not just process strings

Natural Language Processing is one of the most commercially valuable AI skills. This course teaches the CCRMI framework — from classical TF-IDF to transformer embeddings to LLM-powered RAG pipelines. Updated for 2026: the course covers when to use a classical pipeline, when to prompt an LLM, and when to build a RAG system. You will learn to choose the right tool for the right task.

Framework: Collect-Clean-Represent-Model-Interpret (CCRMI)

CCRMI guides every NLP project: (C) Collect text data with purpose; (C) Clean and normalise for your specific task; (R) Represent text numerically using the right method for your problem; (M) Model with the simplest approach that meets your accuracy threshold; (I) Interpret outputs in business terms.

Capstone Project: Customer Review Intelligence Pipeline

Build a pipeline that processes 1,000 real Amazon reviews, extracts sentiment, identifies key topics, and flags named entities — then presents findings in a structured report.
