Natural Language Processing for Business Applications

Organisations across Africa sit on large volumes of text from customer messages, contracts, surveys and social media that they rarely analyse at scale. This course introduces practical natural language processing techniques that turn unstructured text into insight and automation. Delegates work with realistic datasets to classify, summarise and extract meaning from business text, including multilingual content.
