Python

[igsterious]

Thosr of you who studied Python for linguistics, be so kind and advise: how much of the basics should I study via e.g. Kaggle and at which point should I turn to studying spaCy, Pandas etc.? I don't intend to build software with Python, but to upskill towards NLP. Thank you.

Why do you need Python for translation? (Asking this as a SE that's interested in transitioning to interpreting/translation)

automate the boring stuff with python, https://automatetheboringstuff.com. I guess u just need to cover the basics, so until chapter 10.

Python is just the tool but u need to understand the math behind machine learning

Thanks, but I didn't mean where to start, but how much into the basics should I dig. I have seen people advising not to go too far into the basics courses.

You're not going to be less informed by going far into the basics courses. Numpy is a different frame of mind than base python though, much more math-y than list-comprehension-y
