It teaches you data preprocessing techniques to represent and analyse text, web and social media data. It also includes machine learning and its applications in Web Search, information filtering, text classification, clustering, sentiment analysis, topic modelling and generative AI techniques to understand the text data. It teaches you the methods of text analysis and machine learning algorithms for dealing with both the structured and un-structured information embedded within documents, web pages and social media platforms. This unit is motivated by the ubiquity of unstructured big data in our society and the need for future professionals and researchers to develop skills and knowledge in emerging data science approaches.","title-full":"IFN647 Machine Learning for Natural Language Processing","title-short":"Machine Learning for Natural Language Processing","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=IFN647&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=IFN647","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=IFN647"},"year":2025,"years":[2025]}
