Stanford University is offering a free course on Natural Language Processing starting March 12th. As you can guess from the title, it is a programming and linguistics class.
https://www.coursera.org/nlp/auth/welcome Be sure you can meet the schedule (10 hours a week) and can do the following: Know basic probabilty & calculus Know about vectors and vector spaces Be able to program using Python or Java 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thanks Michael. This is very interesting!
I have signed up and have watched the Introduction lecture. It was excellent. Full of meat. This looks like an excellent and useful course. I will use Java, and it looks like there will be a lot of new stuff to learn. They say they will have 10,000 students for this class. Hard to believe, but the forum is already very busy. Study groups are already getting organised around the world and in a number of languages. I think the course will be challenging for those without a good ability in reading and listening in English. The first lecture had a lot of material and it went fast. But you can download the videos and the slides. Some people are asking for sub-titles but I'd be surprised if they are added. The course starts on Mar 12 and goes for 8 weeks. Finishes on 8 May. Thanks again Michael! Are you going to do it? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Bite my tongue! I'm surprised. They already have sub-titles. So that will make it much easier for ESL people, especially considering the quite-fast audio. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

No, I'm not. I'm already taking 5 classes, my math skills are horrible (I can't even do algebra anymore), and I don't know anything about programming.
I just saw a list for some free courses offered at Stanford and since this was language related decided to post it on the forum to see if anyone would be interested. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Very cool! The two professors here literally wrote the book (or at least one of them) on
the subject. This is also very impressive on a logistical front, even if similar courses been done before. 1 person has voted this message useful |
