Mini Bootcamp: Getting Started with Natural

Language Processing
DETAILED SYLLABUS
September 17 - September 27

Overview

In our endeavour to build data culture and democratize Data Science learning, we are
launching a mini bootcamp with the help of resources contributed by academia and
industry experts. The online bootcamp will have a series of day-wise learning modules
along with intuitive practice quizzes/challenges.

In this track, you’ll be able to grasp the fundamentals of natural language processing that
will aid your Data Science journey and get you started with building the required industry
skills.

This is a community initiative, driven by experts and mentors, and you have the
opportunity to attend it for free.
