Great course for every linguist. The course instructor is excellent in what she does. She delivers with so much precision, breaking to the simplest different linguistic terminologies.
It's worth the value put into it. -
Learning Big Data and Language from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology offered through Coursera exposed me to the possibilities of Natural Language Processing in Linguistics, which is an ever growing field in the space of artificial intelligence and speech recognition. Putting these skills learned through the course in use, I've been able to undertake a very big project successfully.

I hope to get more challenging and need-of-the hour research lectures in the use of big data and language.
