Natural Language Processing

Work with text and speech at scale — including the growing field of regional-language NLP for Malayalam and other Indian languages.

Why this domain matters

From customer feedback analysis to voice assistants, most business data is unstructured text or speech. There's a specific and growing opportunity here in Kerala: very few professionals combine strong NLP fundamentals with fluency in Malayalam, making regional-language AI a genuine gap in the market.

What you'll actually learn

You'll cover tokenization and embeddings, transformer-based language understanding, named-entity and sentiment extraction, speech-to-text pipelines, and the specific challenges of working with low-resource and code-mixed languages like Malayalam-English.

Who it's for

Linguistics and CS graduates, developers building customer-facing products for regional audiences, and researchers interested in low-resource language technology.
