Content
The widespread use of technology has allowed the creation of large quantities of text data because people communicate almost everything in text language: webpages, social media posts, ads, emails, customer service, language translation, virtual agents, medical reports, etc. Thus, the need to exploit this unprecedented quantity of text data is critical for many companies and their business. This has led to the development of Document Processing techniques to extract valuable knowledge from this data, based on fast, effective and scalable information retrieval, text mining, and machine learning algorithms, which are at the heart of this unit focusing on descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics of large-scale text data. In particular, this unit provides students with a deep understanding of the basic theories and techniques used to process large-scale of text document data to understand, search, identify, and extract information from semi-structured text documents. The unit will cover basic technologies for text document analysis, including information retrieval, search and indexing, information extraction, document classification, and natural language understanding.
