NVIDIA: Fundamentals of NLP and Transformers Course is the third course of the Exam Prep (NCA-GENL): NVIDIA-Certified Generative AI LLMs - Associate Specialization. This course provides learners with foundational knowledge of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and practical skills for working with NLP pipelines and transformer models. It combines theoretical concepts with hands-on exercises to prepare learners for real-world NLP applications.
This course covers key NLP topics, including tokenization, text preprocessing techniques, and word embeddings, along with the challenges of handling textual data. Learners will also explore sequence models (RNN, LSTM, GRU) and transformer architectures, gaining practical insights into self-attention mechanisms and encoder-decoder models. The course is structured into two modules, each comprising Lessons and Video Lectures. Learners will engage with approximately 3:00-3:30 hours of video content, covering both theoretical foundations and hands-on practice. Each module includes quizzes to reinforce learning and assess understanding. Course Modules: Module 1: Introduction to NLP: Concepts, Techniques, and Applications Module 2: Sequence Models and Transformers By the end of this course, a learner will be able to: - Understand NLP fundamentals, key tasks, and real-world applications. - Implement NLP techniques, including tokenization, word embeddings, and sequence models. - Explore transformer architecture, self-attention mechanisms, and encoder-decoder models. This course is intended for individuals interested in developing NLP expertise and working with transformer-based models. It is ideal for data scientists, machine learning engineers, and AI specialists seeking hands-on experience in modern NLP techniques.
Welcome to Week 1 of the NVIDIA: Fundamentals of NLP and Transformers course. This week, we'll cover the basics of NLP, starting with its importance and key tasks. You'll learn about Tokenization, Text Preprocessing, and the challenges of working with text data. We'll also walk through constructing an NLP pipeline, with a demo on NLP Pipeline Classification using a flight dataset, including model fitting and evaluation. Lastly, we'll explore Word Embeddings and compare CBOW and Skipgram. By the end of the week, you'll have a strong foundation in NLP concepts and techniques.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
