简介：cs224n 2022 winter [Chris Manning]

Christopher Manning (aka. Chris Manning)
In recent years, Deep Learning (or neural network) have achieved very high level of performance in many NLP tasks. Many tasks can be achieved by single e2e neural model without feature engineering on certain task.
stanford cs224n will begin on January 4th, teachers are Prof. Christopher Manning (克里斯多夫 曼宁) and his 3-year PhD student Anna Goldie.

pre-requisite knowledge 预备知识

prerequisite /ˌpriːˈrekwəzɪt/

• Python: 使用NumPy & PyTorch
• College Calculus & Linear Algebra: 大学微积分和线性代数
  多变量导数；矩阵/向量符号和运算
• 概率论与统计的基本知识：概率、高斯分布、均值、标准差
• Basic Knowledge of Machine Learning：模型构建过程涉及设计代价函数（cost function）、求导数并通过梯度下降进行优化。Modelling is related to designing cost function, derivation /ˌderɪˈveɪʃ(ə)n/ and gradient descent to optimize.

The course will be start on Jan.1st and end on Mar.14th. PowerPoint will be provided before every class and the notes usually will be uploaded several days later after class.

During January, students are arranged to learn word vector (token embedding), Gensim word vector representation, word window classification, python knowledge recall, backward propagation and neural network, semantic dependency analysis, PyTorch knowledge recall, gradient disappear, Fancy recurrent neural network and Seq2Seq, etc.

During February, students will learn Transformer and pre-trained, question-answering system, natural language generating and large-scaled language model, convolutional neural network (ConvNet), RNN based on tree structure （基于树形结构的循环神经网络），深度学习中选区解析和语言结构扮演的角色、语言模型中的知识集成等。

During March, students will learn the future of NLP and deep learning, etc.

About Instructor

Christopher Manning 于1989年在澳洲国立大学取得3个bachelor’s degrees (Math, computer and Linguistics)，并于1994年obtained Linguistics PhD degree from Standford. He teached in CMU and Sydney University. 1999年back to Stanford and was hired by computer science and linguistics department. He is the original member and the person in charge of Stanford NLP Group.
The research target of Manning is realize the natural language processing, understanding and generating in artificial way. His research domain includes tree-RNN, sentiment analysis, dependency parsing based on neural network, neural machine translation and deep language understanding, etc. He is a pioneer of deep learning in the field of natural language processing. 他是国际计算机学会（ACM）、国际人工智协会（AAAI）和国际计算语言学会（ACL）等国际权威学术组织的Fellow，曾获ACL、EMNLP、COLING、CHI等国际顶会最佳论文奖，并著有《统计自然语言处理基础》、《信息检索导论》等famous textbook of nlp。
