There are 4 modules in this course
In this module, you will learn how to leverage pre-trained natural language processing models to build NLP applications. We will explore popular open source models like BERT. You will learn how to access these models using libraries like HuggingFace Transformers and use them for tasks like text classification, question answering, and text generation. A key skill will be using large language models to synthetically augment datasets. By feeding the model examples and extracting the text it generates, you can create more training data. Through hands-on exercises, you will build basic NLP pipelines in Python that use pre-trained models to perform tasks like sentiment analysis. By the end of the module, you'll have practical experience using state-of-the-art NLP techniques to create capable language applications.

Frequently asked questions
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.
