What you'll learn

You'll gain a solid understanding of fields like machine translation, chatbot systems, automatic question answering, and sentiment analysis. You will also learn about recent innovative approaches, such as transformer-based large language models, which are currently widely applied in solving natural language processing tasks.

In this course, you will:

  • Build a question-answering bot;
  • Develop a spell checker to work on automatic typo detection;
  • Gain insight into how a search engine operates;
  • Learn how to distinguish between fake and real news;
  • Create a sentiment analysis system.

Learn by doing

# 1
Apply knowledge into practice
You already know the theory. Now it's time to code like you do at work—in a professional IDE, with real project constraints, solving problems that actually matter. Welcome to software engineering as it should be.
# 2
Navigate complexity with surgical precision
Most developers waste months learning random concepts without seeing how they connect. Our interactive Knowledge Map fixes this. It shows exactly how every programming concept relates to others, helping you build a structured mental model of coding.
# 3
Copy the best. Then improve.
Here's what top engineers do that others don't: they study other people's code obsessively. When you get stuck on Hyperskill, you can explore solutions published by other developers. See their exact code. Understand their approach. Learn their tricks.
# 4
Code review that actually makes you better
We stripped code review down to what actually matters: does your solution work? Have you handled the edge cases? Is there a cleaner way to write this? Hyperskill acts like a competent reviewer who actually tests your code. Not genius-level analysis, not architecture debates — just solid feedback on making your code better.

Elevate your engineering mastery through real-world challenges

Master advanced engineering concepts through ambitious projects. Each project deepens your expertise and transforms you from an experienced engineer into an exceptional one.

Neural Network from Scratch

Let's train a very simple but fully connected neural network! In this project, we'll create the necessary metric functions and use custom feedforward and backpropagation methods and functions, all done by hand. The dataset for this project is Fashion-MNIST – no more boring number recognition.

Corpus Annotation from Scratch

Any serious NLP experiment requires data processing. In most cases, you use ready-made data, but sometimes you need to compile a corpus yourself. Depending on the task, you may also need certain information about your text: part-of-speech tags, named entities, statistical characteristics, and so on. In this project, you will learn how to convert raw text into a corpus for further research.

Key Terms Extraction

Extracting keywords can help you get to the text meaning. Also, It can help you with splitting texts into different categories. In this project, you will learn how to extract relevant words from a collection of news stories. There are many different ways to do it, but we will focus on frequencies, part-of-speech search, and TF-IDF methods. Note that each method can yield the results with varying degrees of accuracy for different texts. In reality, it is always good to try various methods and choose the best.
