UKeiG CPD Zoom Course: Natural Language Processing

Wednesday, 6th November 2024 - 1 pm to 4 pm

Natural Language Processing (NLP) has revolutionised the way that humans and machines interact.
We now use our voices to control all manner of digital devices, delegate writing and proofing tasks
to personal assistants, and rely on all manner of automated language services in the workplace. The
intelligent processing of natural language is woven into the very fabric of our everyday lives. But
have you ever stopped to think about how it works, where it is heading or how you might take
advantage of the opportunities it offers?

This half day course provides an accessible introduction to the world of NLP. We attempt to uncover
some of the secrets of how it works, the benefits it provides and how to apply it to better manage,
transform and exploit textual resources and other sources of unstructured data. No prior knowledge
of coding is required or expected.

• Library and information professionals who want to acquire an overview of NLP methods and
  approaches as an element of AI literacy, and build the knowledge and confidence to
  progress to learn more
• Intranet/web managers, information architects and search specialists
• Anyone who has implemented or is planning to implement a solution to manage, transform
  or exploit textual resources and other sources of unstructured data.
