GT NLP Class

This repository contains lecture notes, slides, assignments, and code for a university-level Natural Language Processing course. It spans core NLP topics such as language modeling, sequence tagging, parsing, semantics, and discourse, alongside modern machine learning methods used to solve them. Students work through programming exercises and problem sets that build intuition for both classical algorithms (like HMMs and CRFs) and neural approaches (like word embeddings and sequence models). The materials emphasize theory grounded in practical experimentation, often via Python notebooks or scripts that visualize results and encourage ablation studies. Clear organization and self-contained examples make it possible to follow along outside the classroom, using the repo as a self-study resource. For learners and instructors alike, the course provides a coherent path from foundational linguistics to current techniques, with reproducible code that makes concepts concrete.
