NLP from Basics to Advanced: Mastering Natural Language Processing

Comprehensive course on Natural Language Processing (NLP) — from tokenization platforms, word embeddings, to Transformer architecture, BERT, GPT. Practice text classification, NER, sentiment analysis, machine translation, question answering and build a production-ready NLP pipeline with Python, Hugging Face, and spaCy.

Introducing the Series

NLP from Basic to Advanced is a course that helps you master the entire field of Natural Language Processing — from theoretical foundations to production practice. The course includes both traditional methods and the most modern techniques of 2026.

🎯 After completing the course, you will:

  • Deeply understand how computers "understand" natural language
  • Proficient in Transformer, BERT, GPT and Hugging Face ecosystem
  • Build NLP applications: text classification, NER, QA, summarization
  • Deploy NLP pipeline production-ready
  • Can handle specific Vietnamese NLP problems
