• Python Text Processing Course

  When we use the term "natural language", we are speaking about spoken languages such as English, French or German and not artificial languages like computer programming languages. Technologies based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) are becoming increasingly widespread. Corresponding to this growth, the demand for specialists in NLP is rapidly prospering.
  This seminar demonstrates the enormous NLP possibilities of Python. It is comprised of both a brief introduction to the Python programming language Python, as well as a practical introduction to NLP with actual computer programs. The seminar begins with examples as simple as counting word frequencies, continues with text classification (document classification) and ends with analyzing the semantic meaning of sentences in natural languages like English or German. You will learn to manipulate large corpora, explore linguistic models, and test empirical claims. At the end of the course you will have learnt how to build robust systems to perform linguistic tasks by using Python and the open source library NLTK, Natural Language Toolkit.
  Dates: 6/Jun/2016 - 10/Jun/2016; 25/Jul/2016 - 29/Jul/2016; 5/Dec/2016 - 9/Dec/2016

• Triangulation of Profit - Customer Acquisition, Retention and Cross-Sell/UP-Sell

  This course covers the three pillars of driving profit - entirely from the viewpoint of the Customer. Financial plans are almost always built off % growth of units, whether in the context of manufacturing, retail, or services. Companies often don't use the real metrics behind high level unit growth - the Customer! How many new customers are you acquiring, how many are you losing, and how many are buying multiple products from you?
  This course will focus on these three pillars of topline growth and profitability, and the science behind driving all three. Serving as a follow-up to Brand Strategy - from Formulation to Implementation - we will cover the strategies and tactics to employ for customer acquisition, cross-sell/up-sell, and customer retention/loyalty, and will discuss the connection between the three, within the customer lifecycle, and through the contiuum of marketing. We will leverage proven tools and techniques from the packaged goods,retail, and services industries, for both large and small companies with varying budgets. We will start with the meaning of customer acquisition, retention, and cross-sell / up-sell, and we will show how to link these metrics to the more standard metrics of line of business unit growth. We will then deep dive into specific marketing strategies and tactics to achieve all three goals, simultaneously.
  Dates: 20/Jun/2016 - 24/Jun/2016; 19/Sep/2016 - 23/Sep/2016; 5/Dec/2016 - 9/Dec/2016
