Fundamentals of Natural Language Processing
The field of natural language processing (NLP) aims at getting computers to perform useful and interesting tasks with human language. This course introduces students to the 3 pillars underlying modern NLP: probabilistic language models, simple neural networks with a focus on gradient based learning, and vector-based meaning representations in the form of word embeddings. At the end of the course, students will be able to implement and analyze probabilistic language models based on N-grams, text classifiers using logistic regression and gradient-based learning, and vector-based approaches to wo

HelixDB From Zero
Stop stitching three databases together. HelixDB is a Rust-native graph plus vector engine that holds your nodes, your embeddings, your typed edges, and your key-value documents in one process — no separate Postgres, no separate Qdrant, no separate Neo4j. This course walks a Rust-fluent engineer from helix init through a typed HelixQL schema, the helix check and helix compile pre-deploy gates, side-by-side graph traversal and vector search in the same query language, and a typed Rust client that calls a live HelixDB instance with four runtime contracts. Every primitive you meet is wired into a

Introduction to Embedded Machine Learning
Machine learning (ML) allows us to teach computers to make predictions and decisions based on data and learn from experiences. In recent years, incredible optimizations have been made to machine learning algorithms, software frameworks, and embedded hardware. Thanks to this, running deep neural networks and other complex machine learning algorithms is possible on low-power devices like microcontrollers. This course will give you a broad overview of how machine learning works, how to train neural networks, and how to deploy those networks to microcontrollers, which is known as embedded machine
