In this online course you will be introduced to the essential techniques of text mining, understood here as the extension of data mining’s standard predictive methods to unstructured text. This course will discuss these standard techniques, and will devote considerable attention to the data preparation and handling methods that are required to transform unstructured text into a form in which it can be mined

After completing this course students will be able to:

• Perform tokenization and create dictionaries to prepare text for classification tasks
• Create numerical vectors from text data
• Build classifiers with decision trees, Naive Bayes and linear models, using training and validation data
• Perform “tagging” of text data
• Cluster documents using the k-means algorithm
• Generate predicted Twitter hash tags for text data
