Natural Language Processing Reviews

I took the Udacity NLP nanodegree when I was in the process of looking for jobs after my graduate program. As an AI major I do believe that the Nanodegree alone is not sufficient to build your skills in the field of AI. However, the Nanodegree does have a good structure of the most important concepts required to learn NLP. The Nanodegree will give you a good headstart for NLP.  Since the focus is on new learners as well, the instructurs work very hard to make the content accessible. That can have its drawbacks and the most important drawback is the lack of rigor. Despite all of the flaws, if you are looking to start your career in NLP and you want to know the most important topics that you can further learn from the internet, I would recommend this Nanodegree. If you are in the market for a job in NLP and you want to do this degree, then I wouldn't recommend it. I would recommend that you spend at least 6 months of training in the actual fundamentals before attempting this Nanodegree.
