This course covers a wide range of tasks in Natural Language Processing from basic to advanced: sentiment analysis, summarization, dialogue state tracking, to name a few. Upon completing, you will be able to recognize NLP tasks in your day-to-day work, propose approaches, and judge what techniques are likely to work well. The final project is devoted to one of the most hot topics in today’s NLP. You will build your own conversational chat-bot that will assist with search on StackOverflow website. The project will be based on practical assignments of the course, that will give you hands-on experience with such tasks as text classification, named entities recognition, and duplicates detection. Throughout the lectures, we will aim at finding a balance between traditional and deep learning techniques in NLP and cover them in parallel. For example, we will discuss word alignment models in machine translation and see how similar it is to attention mechanism in encoder-decoder neural networks. Core techniques are not treated as black boxes. On the contrary, you will get in-depth understanding of what’s happening inside. To succeed in that, we expect your familiarity with the basics of linear algebra and probability theory, machine learning setup, and deep neural networks. Some materials are based on one-month-old papers and introduce you to the very state-of-the-art in NLP research. Do you have technical problems? Write to us: coursera@hse.ru

教學大綱 - 您將從這門課程中學到什麼
Intro and text classification
In this module we will have two parts: first, a broad overview of NLP area and our course goals, and second, a text classification task. It is probably the most popular task that you would deal with in real life. It could be news flows classification, sentiment analysis, spam filtering, etc. You will learn how to go from raw texts to predicted classes both with traditional methods (e.g. linear classifiers) and deep learning techniques (e.g. Convolutional Neural Nets).
Language modeling and sequence tagging
In this module we will treat texts as sequences of words. You will learn how to predict next words given some previous words. This task is called language modeling and it is used for suggests in search, machine translation, chat-bots, etc. Also you will learn how to predict a sequence of tags for a sequence of words. It could be used to determine part-of-speech tags, named entities or any other tags, e.g. ORIG and DEST in "flights from Moscow to Zurich" query. We will cover methods based on probabilistic graphical models and deep learning.
Vector Space Models of Semantics
This module is devoted to a higher abstraction for texts: we will learn vectors that represent meanings. First, we will discuss traditional models of distributional semantics. They are based on a very intuitive idea: "you shall know the word by the company it keeps". Second, we will cover modern tools for word and sentence embeddings, such as word2vec, FastText, StarSpace, etc. Finally, we will discuss how to embed the whole documents with topic models and how these models can be used for search and data exploration.
Sequence to sequence tasks
Nearly any task in NLP can be formulates as a sequence to sequence task: machine translation, summarization, question answering, and many more. In this module we will learn a general encoder-decoder-attention architecture that can be used to solve them. We will cover machine translation in more details and you will see how attention technique resembles word alignment task in traditional pipeline.

Great thanks to this amazing course! I learned a lot on state-to-art natural language processing techniques! Really like your awesome programming assignments! See you HSE guys in next class!
I like this course very much. It is a good introduction for NLP. But if you want to know more about the NLP, you need to search and read a lot of posts during the learning process.
