- [Instructor] Before we get started, I want to go over some assumptions about the background knowledge that will help you get the most out of this course, as well as some other concepts that would be helpful, but not necessary. First, it'll be helpful if you have some working knowledge with Python. I won't be covering the most basic concepts, so it will be helpful for you to broadly understand how it works, its syntax, and maybe some of the basics of object oriented programing. Beyond that, it'll be helpful if you have had some experience using the NumPy, pandas and scikit-learn libraries, as we'll be relying on each of those fairly heavily throughout this course. Now, for skills that would be helpful, but not absolutely necessary for this course. If you have some experience with statistics, that will be helpful, but it's not absolutely necessary. In addition to that, having a basic understanding of some of the key concepts in natural language processing and machine learning will also be helpful, as we'll build off some of those basic concepts. With that said, if you don't have any experience with NLP or machine learning, don't worry, I will be covering the basics so you won't be left behind.
