In this course, you’ll learn the details of spell check and grammatical error correction systems by creating them with their basic building blocks. You’ll explore natural language processing packages like NLTK, pandas, spaCy, Fuzz, GECToR, HuggingFace, and more. 

You’ll build the Norvig spellchecker and understand how modern machine learning-based spellcheckers work. This is followed by the mathematical concepts required for identifying part-of-speech (POS) tags for grammatical error checking. You’ll then implement a POS rule-based grammar checker, using a heuristic-based approach to correct grammar mistakes. Finally, you’ll learn to develop a transformer-based spellchecker using HuggingFace’s transformer libraries through a hands-on final project.

After completing this course, you’ll fully understand how modern spellcheckers and grammar correction software work and how these can be integrated into natural language corrector systems such as Grammarly.
