As the use of Natural Language Processing (NLP) to process text becomes ubiquitous - from social media apps to job applications - understanding the basics of how meaning is extracted from text is crucial.
In these hands-on workshops, you will learn how to use IBM Watson services to extract meaning from sample text.
Before starting the workshops, create an IBM Cloud account (free) and provision instances (lite plan) of the following services (if you don't already have these):
-
Create an IBM Cloud account
IBM Cloud login -
Provision an instance of IBM Watson Studio
IBM Watson Studio -
Provision an instance of IBM Watson Natural Language Understanding
