Natural Language Processing Demystified (Part One)
Hi HN: I published part one of my free NLP course. The course is intended to help anyone who knows Python and a bit of math go from the very basics all the way to today's mainstream models and frameworks. I strive to balance theory and practice and so every module consists of detailed explanations and slides along with a Colab notebook (in most modules) putting the theory into practice. In part one, we cover text preprocessing, how to turn text into numbers, and multiple ways to classify and search text using "classical" approaches. And along the way, we'll pick up useful bits on how to use…

In plain words
Natural Language Processing Demystified is a free educational course for Python developers with basic math knowledge seeking to learn NLP fundamentals and modern frameworks. Part one covers text preprocessing, converting text to numerical data, and classical text classification and search techniques using tools like spaCy and scikit-learn. Each module includes detailed explanations, slides, and interactive Colab notebooks demonstrating theory in practice. No registration is required to access the course.

From the sources
A free, accessible course on Natural Language Processing with 15 modules and 9 notebooks of theory and practice, clearly explained.
“ Every once in a while you come across an online course that nearly perfectly distills a topic, somehow making it relatively simple and digestible while still managing to provide a very comprehensive and thorough overview. This has definitely been one of those courses for me and I've really been enjoying it. Thank you very much! ” Get a solid grounding in NLP from 15 modules of content covering everything from the very basics to today's advanced models and techniques. Start from raw data and learn to build classifiers, taggers, language models, translators, and more through nine fully-documented notebooks. Get exposure to a wide variety of tools and code you can use in your own projects. “…from nlpdemystified.org

TL;DR: https://pyflo.net is a free, interactive guide to learning Python Hi Everyone, I am a CS educator who has taught a variety of university courses, including many on introductory Python programming. Over the past few years, I've written down a number of Python programming lessons and has culminated into Pyflo.net. This tool is a completely free, introductory guide to learning Python. It is more-or-less an intro programming textbook, but with a few twists, including: * It is totally free. You don't even have to give me your email to use it * The lessons are short and…

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
