About
It is a tiresome job to check school essays — too hard to focus on content and correct misspellings simultaneously. A simple spellchecker may help with that! The teacher assistant program will make a report on students' mistakes and give feedback about them. You will practice concepts frequently tested in technical interviews at top tech companies.
Graduate project
This project covers the core topics of the Introduction to Natural Language Processing course, making it sufficiently challenging to be a proud addition to your portfolio.
At least one graduate project is required to complete the course.
