Slides to the 1st and 2nd lectures published

Hi all,

The slides for the introductory lecture are now published, We have also now published slides and pre-recorded videos for the first "regular" lecture, focused on supervised machine learning (for your convenience, the lecture is split into 4 short episodes).

You can find these materials in the course schedule.  On Monday, January 27th, we will have our first online Q&A session (in Zoom). Prior to the session, please watch the videos and read the slides. Note that some videos are pre-recorded in the previous years when this course was offered: thus, it is expected that you can encounter mentions of wrong dates or years other than 2025. In case of any contradictions, check the slides: they are all updated to the current (2025) incarnation of the course.

You are also advised to read chapters 1-3 of the "Neural Network Methods for Natural Language Processing" textbook.

You are more than welcome to post your questions or comments to our Mattermost group chat.

See you soon!
