I took this class and can vouch for it. They update the class every year to go over recent research - not an easy task in such a fast moving field. For example, this offering covers the Transformer architecture which has recently been used to obtain state of the art results across a wide range of NLP tasks.

- pattusk 8y agoTangentially related if you're interested in keeping up to date with what's going on in the field: Sebastian Ruder's blog has many good posts on recent advancements in NLP (literature reviews, conference highlights): http://ruder.io/ http://ruder.io/ The posts are concise and accessible enough that you can skim through them quickly. Then you can go check out the paper directly if something piques your interest.
- phowon 8y agoI know this talking point has been brought up by different people, but it's worth pointing out that Transformers were already covered in the class in 2018. https://web.stanford.edu/class/archive/cs/cs224n/cs224n.1184/lectures/lecture12.pdf https://web.stanford.edu/class/archive/cs/cs224n/cs224n.1184...
