Look inside

As a data engineer in an online recruiting tech company or a large organization’s HR department, you’ll build a series of practical tools to process and extract useful information from unstructured text data using NumPy. You’ll learn important methods (including trie data structure, TF-IDF, SVD), how to implement them, and their applications in the real world. When you’re finished, you’ll have the know-how to build data processing tools that meet the needs of machine learning engineers, data analysts, and product developers.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
