Course Overview

Text processing is essential for many applications that involve natural language data. It enables computers to understand and generate human language, extract valuable insights from text data, and automate various tasks that involve text analysis.

Why text processing is beneficial for organisations?

  • Improved efficiency: Text processing automates many tedious and time-consuming tasks such as data cleaning, tokenisation, and normalisation, which can significantly improve efficiency and save time.
  • Increased accuracy: Text processing algorithms can analyse large amounts of data much faster and with greater accuracy than humans, reducing errors and improving the quality of insights.
  • Enhanced understanding: Text processing techniques such as sentiment analysis, topic modelling, and named entity recognition can help identify patterns and insights that might not be immediately apparent from a surface-level reading of the text.
  • Better decision-making: Text processing can help organisations make better decisions by providing insights and identifying opportunities or risks that may have been missed otherwise.
  • Improved customer experience: Text processing can help organisations better understand their customers’ needs, preferences, and sentiment, enabling them to provide better customer service and personalised experiences.

Text processing can help organisations extract valuable insights and automate many time-consuming tasks, leading to better decision-making, increased efficiency, and improved customer experiences.
