Join them Wednesday, October 2 from 6:30PM to 8:30PM at the PeopleSpace, 1691 Kettering St, Irvine.

Natural Language Processing, commonly referred to as NLP, is unfortunately thought of as a deep, mysterious field which only those who have studied it for years understand. However, this isn't true. You can start using NLP today, by learning a small number of methods from a few open-source libraries.

In this talk, they use the community edition of JetBrains' PyCharm editor and the open-source libraries NLTK, SciKit Learn, and NumPy. They quickly build an app to sort articles into groups and tell them their common theme. So bring your laptop, dust off your python skills and get ready for a fast and informative talk.
