Thanks! This is helpful. I'll check both out courses.

The recommendation for PGM sounds promising. I am familiar with Bayes theorems (through the first offering of the AI course on what later became Udacity).

I had signed up for NLP on Coursera but dropped in it the middle since I was already familiar with the contents till that point (having read most parts of both Christopher Manning's and Dan Jurafsky's books already). I'll check the materials for the rest of it.
