  1. Foundations: Data & Text Analysis

    6 weeks
    Goals
    • Master Python for data manipulation with Pandas.
    • Understand core NLP concepts (tokenization, POS, NER) using NLTK/spaCy.
    • Learn SQL to extract and join customer data tables.
    • Create your first basic sentiment analysis script.
    Resources
    • Python for Data Analysis (Wes McKinney)
    • Coursera: Natural Language Processing Specialization (DeepLearning.AI)
    • SQLZoo / Mode Analytics SQL Tutorial
    • Kaggle: 'Natural Language Processing with Disaster Tweets' competition
    Milestone

    Build a script that ingests a CSV of product reviews, cleans the text, performs basic sentiment scoring, and outputs a summary report.

  2. Core: ML for Feedback Analysis

    8 weeks
    Goals
    • Master scikit-learn for text classification (TF-IDF, Naive Bayes, etc.).
    • Learn to train and evaluate sentiment models.
    • Introduction to topic modeling (LDA, NMF).
    • Understand data labeling workflows and tools.
    Resources
    • Scikit-learn documentation & tutorials
    • Kaggle: 'Sentiment Analysis on Movie Reviews'
    • Towards Data Science articles on topic modeling
    • Label Studio community documentation
    Milestone

    Develop an end-to-end model that classifies support tickets by issue category and sentiment, and visualizes the results in a Jupyter notebook dashboard.

  3. AI Tooling: LLMs & Modern NLP

    8 weeks
    Goals
    • Learn the OpenAI API and prompt engineering techniques for text summarization and classification.
    • Use Hugging Face Transformers to load, fine-tune, and use open-source models.
    • Understand RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) concepts for analyzing internal knowledge bases.
    • Practice ethical considerations: bias detection and mitigation in model outputs.
    Resources
    • OpenAI API documentation and cookbooks
    • Hugging Face NLP Course (free)
    • LangChain documentation for building simple chains
    • Research papers: 'On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots' for critical perspective
    Milestone

    Create a pipeline that uses an LLM to summarize 1000 app store reviews into 5 key themes and recommended actions, with a clear method to check for biased outputs.

  4. Integration & Strategy

    6 weeks
    Goals
    • Learn basic data orchestration (Airflow or Prefect basics).
    • Develop data storytelling and visualization skills for non-technical stakeholders.
    • Practice stakeholder management and translating insights into business cases.
    • Build a complete portfolio project.
    Resources
    • Airflow tutorial: 'Write your first DAG'
    • Storytelling with Data (Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic) - book
    • Practice presenting to a peer group or mentor
    • Build a end-to-end project from the project list below
    Milestone

    Finalize a portfolio-ready project that demonstrates the full lifecycle-from data ingestion and AI-powered analysis to a strategic presentation deck for a mock executive team.

Practice Projects

Apply your skills with hands-on projects. Ordered by difficulty.

App Store Review Insight Engine

Beginner

Build a Python script that scrapes or ingests app store reviews for a given product, performs sentiment analysis and topic extraction using NLTK/spaCy and scikit-learn, and generates a summary report with visualizations (word clouds, trend charts).

~25h
Python for Data AnalysisText PreprocessingSentiment Analysis

Multi-Source Feedback Classifier

Intermediate

Create a model that classifies customer feedback from different sources (survey text, chat logs) into predefined business categories (e.g., 'Pricing', 'UI Bug', 'Feature Request'). Use TF-IDF and a classifier like Logistic Regression, and deploy it as a simple API endpoint.

~40h
Text ClassificationFeature Engineering (TF-IDF)Model Evaluation

LLM-Powered Feedback Summarizer & Action Item Extractor

Advanced

Use the OpenAI API or a fine-tuned open-source LLM via Hugging Face to build a tool that ingests a large volume of feedback (e.g., 1000+ entries), generates a concise summary of key themes, and extracts a list of prioritized action items for the product team.

~50h
LLM Prompt EngineeringChain Design (LangChain)Large-scale Text Processing

Competitive Intelligence Feedback Dashboard

Advanced

Design a pipeline that continuously collects feedback for your company and 2-3 competitors from public sources (app stores, forums). Use topic modeling to compare common themes and sentiment, and build a Tableau/Power BI dashboard to track competitive positioning on key customer experience dimensions.
