CS224N - Natural Language Processing
CS224N: Natural Language Processing (Stanford Univ.). Instructor: Professor Christopher D. Manning. This course is designed to introduce students to the fundamental concepts
and ideas in natural language processing (NLP), and to get them up to speed with current research in the area. It develops an in-depth understanding of both the algorithms available for
the processing of linguistic information and the underlying computational properties of natural languages. Wordlevel, syntactic, and semantic processing from both a linguistic and
an algorithmic perspective are considered. The focus is on modern quantitative techniques in NLP: using large corpora, statistical models for acquisition, disambiguation, and parsing.
Also, it examines and constructs representative systems. (from see.stanford.edu)
