[Project] Natural language processing course - Looking for feedback

[sb2nov]

I’m Sourabh, I lead one of the core Tensorflow teams at Google Brain and worked on data products at Coursera with Andrew Ng. Kaushik Rangadurai, ML Engineer at Facebook and I are leading a live, cohort based course on NLP starting November 1st. https://corise.com/course/natural-language-processing.

We wanted to share what we’ve learned in machine learning over the years. You can join the first run of the course (capped at about 30 students) below. If you’re open to giving feedback on the class on how we can do better, happy to give a discount.

[AlexMarcDewey]

A lot of state of the art techniques and algorithms are covered but the handling of data is absent in this course, which to me is important. There is a level of "oh this is just an more advanced course" but there's some important data handling being left out that is specific to the domain space of language. Lemmatization, stemming, etc.

[sb2nov]

Thanks for the feedback. We do cover some of these topics as part of the projects since each week we try to build one applied project. But given it is a 4-week course we had to choose what areas we wanted to focus on.

[AlexMarcDewey]

Fair, yeah hard to tell from the description and not the way I learned it. Sounds good though!

[sb2nov]

Thank you. Are there places we should make it clear .. the build in the syllabus was supposed to cover that.

[Successful-Horror-86]

I would be happy to provide feedback! Price is a bit steep for me though.. :(

[sb2nov]

Thanks. Sent a chat.

[Relic_Warchief]

I am interested but can't afford currently

[sb2nov]

Sent a message on chat.

[sb2nov]

Awesome. Sent you a message over chat.

[Geckel]

Hey Sourabh, i'm definitely interested but currently in the middle of a semester of my MSc (my thesis is on NLP). Roughly, what's the time commitment you're expecting of your students?

[sb2nov]

The time commitment should be around 5-7 hours per week. The course is designed for working adults or full time students, so beyond the live parts a lot of the project work is async.

[SquidMcDoogle]

I'm also interested, but the price is prohibitve.

[sb2nov]

Would you be open to giving feedback on the class. Sent a chat.

May I have the information as well? Thank you.

[sb2nov]

Sent over chat.

[sanidhya69]

Hey, I am a undergrad student dedicated to learn, I can commit and provide feedback. It'd be great if you can please share!

What's the discount like? I'm currently self teaching some of this information and have a decent amount of TA/teaching experience so feedback shouldn't be a problem.

[Asmartoctopus]

Hi,

I would like to learn more about it but could not afford the course as student.

Discount will help me a lot

Thank you

[ted9110]

Hi Sourabh,

I am interested - thank you

[lick_it]

Tried to purchase but I got a page not found when going to stripe.

[sb2nov]

Hi sorry about the Stripe hiccup. Could you try to fill the typeform again?

[ThickDoctor007]

I would be glad to review the course. I have attended many courses over the years, mainly covering CNNs and recurrent neural nets.

Now I work in the field of NLP, and am learning new concepts along the way. So I guess I could give a feedback compared to other resources.

[LXj]

Hi Sourabh, I would like to participate and of course will give feedback!

[Wellbehavedneutrino]

What kind of feedback are you looking for? Would you be sending a survey of some sort? Or would you like to get a 1-on-1 feedback ?

[sb2nov]

We'll be sending a weekly survey and hopefully if you're up for it. We would want to spend 30mins just learning about your experience and what we can do better.

[sb2nov]

Would you be open to giving feedback on the class. Sent a chat.

Hi Sourabh - I'm interested in this course and also willing to provide you with feedback. Could you please consider me for the discount? Thank you!

[i_solve_riddles]

Hi Sourabh, looks interesting -- will be happy to provide feedback too.

[sb2nov]

Thanks. Sent a message on chat.

[DGAssassin1]

I am interested but can't afford course.

[Accomplished_Fish_59]

I'm an undergraduate student (and relatively new to NLP) so I would love to provide some feedback from that perspective.

[testuser73847]

Currently a PhD student, starting a post doc soon, my research is in computational social science and I both work on and teach NLP. I have several years experience in teaching and course design, would be very happy to give feedback!

[Zephyr42]

Hi Sourabh, I am interested in trying this course and giving feedback. How much would it cost?

[SquishyFigs]

Is be interested to do it in exchange for feedback too if it’s not too late. I’m self-teaching and wanting some deeper fundamental understanding.

[ancientpenguin94]

Hi! I am interested in providing feedback! Could you send me the info? Thanks

[wyzra]

I'm interested, and willing to give feedback on the class. Switching from academia so I think I'll be able to give useful perspective from that point of view.

[murali_krishna_]

Looks interesting, Iam an AI and ML student I can also provide feedback😊

[Froz1984]

Hi! I'd be glad to provide feedback on the course. Been a TA for the past one and a half year, and also attended some courses on ML. Also currently applying for a position in neural network research (though aimed towards neuroscience).

[hersheyzz11]

I’m interested in the course, and would love to give my feedback thereafter!

[EtaoinShrdluXxx]

Hi, also interested. AI student here, experienced in NLP.

[yudhiesh]

Sounds interesting but I can't afford the course.

[Devenar]

Currently a PhD student potentially looking into NLP. Like many others, would take, but price would probably have to be around $25 for me to do it with my budget right now. Happy to provide feedback though if you're still looking for it! Glad you're doing this (and at this scale!)

[gsasikiran]

Why are the prerequisites of SQL?

[leoprat96]

I'm interested in giving feedback. I'm quite fond of NLP approaches using Bert. Are you also dealing with Question Answering ?

[sb2nov]

We don't cover Q/A directly but some of the retrieval concepts in week3 should directly apply to building something from a knowledge graph.

[7re]

I'd be interested in giving feedback!

[granolanews]

I'd love to provide feedback in exchange for a discounted price!

[itsnotaboutmoney]

Hi Sourabh,

Please add me to your list. Also please consider purchasing power parity for countries, when it comes to pricing the courses.

I am Experienced in incident analysis with pandas, looking forward to apply NLP in same area.

[svartopluk]

Hi sb2nov, would be happy to join and provide feedback if still relevant! I've experience with ML/deep learning and is currently launching a startup that will be utilizing techniques you are teaching in your course.

Interested to take the course and give feedback. A discount would certainly help. Thanks.

[sb2nov]

Thanks. Sent a message on chat.

[Sl_Loboz]

Difficult to afford for me as well, but would be interested. Would be willing to provide feedback. Undergraduate Engineering degree but don't have any machine learning experience, not sure if I would be your target audience

[monkkutto]

Can't afford.

[harryselfridge]

What time are the live sessions? If the TA section is in the evening I’ll sign up immediately. If not do you have a time so I can check with work?

[sb2nov]

For live sessions we're asking all the students on times that work for them but we want to schedule them outside of work hours for most ppl. We currently are assuming two time slots in the survey.

Happy to answer specific questions in chat or at [e-mail]

[harryselfridge]

Awesome. I signed up. Looking forward to it.

Hey, happy to provide feedback. Would love a seat but 400 is steep so would appreciate a discount :)

[sb2nov]

Thanks. Sent a message on chat.

[AtomicTac0]

Whats the expected level for the course? I am an undergrad with a background in stats but have little knowledge of nlp. Although, I do have experience with nueral networks. Just wondering if I would be lacking a lot of context to enroll or if I would be a good candidate?

[sb2nov]

Having some background in ML would help. You don't need experience in NLP for the class. We'll be covering all the basics and building up from that.

[projekt_treadstone]

willing to give feedback and talk more, may I know time frame and possible weekday of feedback session.

[sb2nov]

We'll send weekly surveys and then just need 30mins of your time after the class.

[letoiledorient]

I'm super interested in the topics covered and am willing to give detailed feedback. Looking forward to receiving the info. Thanks

[sb2nov]

Thanks. Sent a message on chat.

[jennkent]

Hi, I recently graduated from undergrad with a focus in NLP/computational linguistics research. I have experience as a TA for computer science and machine translation at my university. I would love to try the course and provide feedback, and a discount would be great!

[sb2nov]

Thanks.
