JSON and Natural Language Processing in PostgreSQL (edX)

Offered by University of Michigan, MichiganX,
JSON and Natural Language Processing in PostgreSQL (edX)

In this third course in PostgreSQL for Everybody, learners will learn how PostgreSQL creates and uses JSON and natural language content. Learners will explore using multiple sources of data and how text is structured within PostgreSQL.

Within this course, you’ll learn about how PostgreSQL creates and uses inverted indexes for JSON and natural language content. We will use various sources of data for our databases, including access to an online API and spidering its data and storing the data in a JSON column in PostgreSQL. Students will explore how full-text inverted indexes are structured. Students will build their own inverted indexes and then make use of PostgreSQL built-in capabilities to support full-text indexes.
This course is part of the PostgreSQL for Everybody Professional Certificate.

What you'll learn

  • Compare Python, PostgreSQL, and JSON
  • Index and retrieve natural language text and JSON data; access API data and store it in a database
  • Create a GIN-based text[] reverse index and ts_vector index; build a search engine in PostgreSQL.

CONGRATULATIONS! Not only did you accomplish to finish our intellectual tour de force, but, by now, you also already have all required skills to execute a comprehensive multi-method workflow of computational social science. We will put these skills to work in this final integrative lab, where we are bringing it all together. We scrape data from a social media site (drawing on the skills obtained in the 1st course of this specialization). We then analyze the collected data by visualizing the resulting networks (building on the skills obtained in the 3rd course). We analyze some key aspects of it in depth, using machine learning powered natural language processing (putting to work the insights obtained during the 2nd course).

Statistics & Data Analysis Data Science

This course will introduce the learner to text mining and text manipulation basics. The course begins with an understanding of how text is handled by python, the structure of text both to the machine and to humans, and an overview of the nltk framework for manipulating text. The second week focuses on common manipulation needs, including regular expressions (searching for text), cleaning text, and preparing text for use by machine learning processes. The third week will apply basic natural language processing methods to text, and demonstrate how text classification is accomplished. The final week will explore more advanced methods for detecting the topics in documents and grouping them by similarity (topic modelling).
