In this workshop, we build a natural language processing (NLP) model to classify sample Twitter comments and customer-support emails using the state-of-the-art BERT model for language representation.

To build our BERT-based NLP model, we use the Amazon Customer Reviews Dataset which contains 150+ million customer reviews from Amazon.com for the 20 year period between 1995 and 2015. In particular, we train a classifier to predict the star_rating (1 is bad, 5 is good) from the review_body (free-form review text).

This workshop is FREE, but would otherwise cost <25 USD.
