  I believe this is the "expanded" version mentioned in that discussion.

    I think this is "just" a cleaned up version of the draft included in the previous discussion. I believe the expanded version mentioned in the aforementioned link is a longer book which grew out of this paper.

      You're absolutely right. I looked at the printed page number of the last page and thought "wow 400 pages!". Apologies for jumping the gun.

  Not much "discussion", there either - as well as (not) on the truly first link back in its day that didn't get up-voted: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10338114 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10338114 Whatever, to give some opinion: I've read all of Goldberg's stuff and always think it's very excellent. If you are into (statistical) NLP, his work certainly has "sine qua non" rating... EDIT: Oh, but yes, you can skip this and read the book if you are that interested in this stuff and can shell out the bucks - it's more complete and better redacted. (EDIT2: By which I mean the book is more up-to-date with refs from 2017, etc., not that the writing in the linked article is poor or anything!)
