Programa - Qué aprenderás en este curso
Orientation
You will become familiar with the course, your classmates, and our learning environment. The orientation will also help you obtain the technical skills required for the course.
Week 1
During this module, you will learn the overall course design, an overview of natural language processing techniques and text representation, which are the foundation for all kinds of text-mining applications, and word association mining with a particular focus on mining one of the two basic forms of word associations (i.e., paradigmatic relations).
Week 2
During this module, you will learn more about word association mining with a particular focus on mining the other basic form of word association (i.e., syntagmatic relations), and start learning topic analysis with a focus on techniques for mining one topic from text.
Week 3
During this module, you will learn topic analysis in depth, including mixture models and how they work, Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm and how it can be used to estimate parameters of a mixture model, the basic topic model, Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA), and how Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) extends PLSA.
Week 4
During this module, you will learn text clustering, including the basic concepts, main clustering techniques, including probabilistic approaches and similarity-based approaches, and how to evaluate text clustering. You will also start learning text categorization, which is related to text clustering, but with pre-defined categories that can be viewed as pre-defining clusters.

Principales reseñas sobre TEXT MINING AND ANALYTICS
This is a very good course. I think it provides a very good foundation of text mining and analytics like PLSA and LDA. More advanced research discussed in the last lecture is also very interesting.
Well taught course, would have preferred if went further into topics like opinion mining (even if we had optional lectures or assignments). However, definitely a fun course to learn a lot.
Very good course thank you
I wish we could have use case applications with high level tools such as R
Thanks a lot again !
It is rare to find an online course that explains the statistics and intuition behind text mining and machine learning algorithm!
Acerca de Programa especializado: minería de datos
The Data Mining Specialization teaches data mining techniques for both structured data which conform to a clearly defined schema, and unstructured data which exist in the form of natural language text. Specific course topics include pattern discovery, clustering, text retrieval, text mining and analytics, and data visualization. The Capstone project task is to solve real-world data mining challenges using a restaurant review data set from Yelp.
