Deep learning has fundamentally changed the landscapes of a number of areas in artificial intelligence, including speech and natural language, vision, robotics, and game playing. Intersection of deep learning and NLP have emerged with interesting results serving a benchmark for the advances in one of the most important tasks in artificial intelligence. This course introduces the state of the art of deep learning research and its successful applications to major NLP tasks, including speech recognition and understanding, dialogue systems, lexical analysis, parsing, knowledge graphs, machine translation, question answering, sentiment analysis, social computing, and natural language generation
