Nlp And Chatbot Development With Python Training Course in Kenya
Introduction
The NLP and Chatbot Development with Python Training Course is designed for developers, AI practitioners, and public and private sector professionals seeking to harness the power of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for automating communication through intelligent chatbot systems. With organizations increasingly adopting conversational AI to streamline services, improve user engagement, and enhance operational efficiency, this course equips participants with cutting-edge skills to build scalable, interactive chatbots using Python-based NLP frameworks and libraries.
Participants will gain hands-on experience in designing, training, and deploying NLP-powered chatbots for real-world use cases. The course covers essential concepts in language modeling, intent recognition, entity extraction, and dialogue management, integrating these into fully functional chatbot systems using tools such as spaCy, NLTK, Rasa, and Transformer-based models. By the end of the training, learners will be empowered to deploy secure, context-aware, and multilingual chatbots that deliver accurate and human-like responses.
