Text Mining and Analytics

Data Mining ,

This course will cover the major techniques for mining and analyzing text data to discover interesting patterns, extract useful knowledge, and support decision making, with an emphasis on statistical approaches that can be generally applied to arbitrary text data in any natural language with no or minimum human effort. Detailed analysis of text data requires understanding of natural language text, which is known to be a difficult task for computers. However, a number of statistical approaches have been shown to work well for the "shallow" but robust analysis of text data for pattern finding and knowledge discovery. You will learn the basic concepts, principles, and major algorithms in text mining and their potential applications.

What people are saying

text mining and analytics

The content of Text Mining and Analytics is very comprehensive and deep.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of text mining and analytics, which is incredibly useful for academic works and career alike.

It has an important introduction to the most key concepts and techniques for text mining and analytics.

It serves well as a First Class to text mining and analytics!

the course is very helpful in giving the overall flavor of text mining and analytics.

This was a great introduction to Text Mining and Analytics.

Text Mining and Analytics is the fourth course in the Data Mining specialization offered by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne through Coursera.

Text Mining and Analytics is information-packed.

Text Mining and Analytics covers many useful data mining topics, but it has too much lackluster video content for its own good.

I give Text Mining and Analytics 2.5 out of 5 stars: Mediocre.

too much

I didnt feel like continuing, I had problem at job for which i enrolled in course,to do efficient text mining..Its all theoretical..Too much information at one short and no examples relating to it very theoretical.

The content is really good but the course has too much theory.

I liked the way I could find out about newest algorithms and trends, but I'd like for the ratio of theory and practice to be at least equal, since it's too much focused on the overview of everything there is.

programming assignment

Mixing it with some practical programming assignments would have been very nice I think the course has very limited practical problems; so for beginners in NLP and text analytics, it is very difficult to grasp all the theoretical concepts presented in the course.

You as a student cannot see the big picture.The programming assignment was fun but did not help learning the course contents.

Everything was bad: content, presentation, evaluation, programming assignments.

The programming assignment was the cherry on the cake, confusing, badly prepared and didn't make any sense.

my opinion

It is essential for modern data science practice in my opinion.

Hope the speaker can slow down sometimes.It will be more helpful if give more real-world examples Most of the lessons are mathematical formulae in which, in my opinion, I need more real case study/practice to make myself clearly understand on how do those formulae perform.

optional programming

So, some text books had better be specified.Homework of this course is quiz-based, only one optional programming task.

2) The optional programming exercises are easy to complete, but the environment is very confusing to set it up.

sentiment analysis

Despite the amount of material to cover, this course did a great job of introducing the right amount of detail for various aspects (motivation, algorithms, algorithmic reasoning, evaluation) on topic modelling, text clustering, text categorization, sentiment analysis, aspect sentiment analysis, evaluation of text and non-text data in context, and more.

Course topics include mining word relations, topic discovery, text clustering, text categorization and sentiment analysis.

data science

This is a great course for data science.

A most know & understand unit for all students of Data Science.

theoretical concepts

It also does not explain these theoretical concepts in detail enough.

It was difficult for me as a new learner in the text analytics field to follow such dense theoretical concepts.
