One of the best introductions to the fundamentals of NLP. It's not just deep learning, fundamentals are really important to know how things evolved over time. Literally the best NLP introduction ever.

Great Course,
Very few courses where Algorithms like Knn, Logistic Regression, Naives Baye are implemented right from Scratch . and also it gives you thorough understanding of numpy and matplot.lib

I felt like the instructors are themselves a language model. Put in some style guys.

Terribly frustrating experience so far.
I have a phd in a statistical field and many years of experience with machine learning. I took this course to brush up on things I already know, as well as learn some new aspects of NLP.
So far, on courses where the content is a breeze for me, I spend more time trying to get the stupid tests to work than I do answering the questions. Then when my functions pass the tests, the autograder says they fail, and there's no clear explanation for why. The autograder says "see stderr output" but it's not provided! If you so much as breathe the wrong way in the code the autograder will fail.
Then you try to get help and the Coursera documentation says "go ask someone in the forums." Yet you can't find the forums because the link to the forums is not in the place where the documentation says it should be.

I cannot express how badly the material was presented. They are just reading mechanically and gesturing very artificially. It is stressful to follow such videos which lack any natural expression. I guess they are reading from a scrolling text! The English of one of the speakers is highly accentuated and not at all easy to follow. Moreover, many terms and ideas are hushed through and are difficult to understand. What a pity!

You made the first assignment unnecessarily complicated requiring a Twitter API, and Twitter is giving me the runaround. But we should not need one. Besides, the instruction are so poorly formatted, it is a huge waste of time. I am ending my free trial. I am learning more from free Youtube tutorials. I have had some good experiences o Coursera and some terrible ones. This is one of the worst.

The content is not as good as I expected comparing to the deep learning specialization. Mistakes can be found from both lecture and assignment. The instructor did not explain as much and it seems like he was just trying to finish the video rather than explaining. The grading scheme for the last assignment is terrible as my feedback said. I feel disappointed.

Spends a lot of time going over tedious implementation details rather than teaching interesting NLP topics and nuances, especially in the assignments. I would highly recommend spending your money and time on something else.
For having Andrew Ng's course as suggested background for this course this is a big step (read as fall) down.

Very superficial course, just like the rest in the specialization. Quizzes and assignments are a joke. Didn't want to give negative feedback at first, but now that I am doing course #4 in the specialization, which covers material I don't know much about (Attention), I've realized how bad these courses are. Very sad.

The exercise is really badly designed. The "fill in the blank" lab do not help students actually learn. The videos is just a scratch on the surface and do not give students a good understanding of the problem. How you can suppose someone to take in NLP without prior knowledge of calculus or linear algebra?

NLP specialization teaches Logistics regression which must be part of data science 101. Absolute waste of time.! Course 1 & 2 are absolute unnecessary and only for profit maximization because it takes time to finish the hands on exercises.

Each video is ranging from a minute to 5 minutes, which will become bit tough in knowing subject and also the intuition behind each concept is not explained clearly. Will not recommend this course for learning NLP

I could not finishe the course because I have a compiling trouble.
Is there any way to initialize the assighnment file?
