Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.00,0:00:00.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hi, everyone.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.93,0:00:05.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We know that most of you still working really hard on the last couple of assignments and problem sets\N
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.52,0:00:12.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but nevertheless our NLP class is coming to its close and so we thought we’ll both update you on a few of the issues.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.11,0:00:14.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And first of all, everyone is always interested in numbers\N
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.82,0:00:17.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so let’s say a bit about the numbers.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.09,0:00:24.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, it seems like, as we come into week 7’s material of the problem sets and programming assignments,\N
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.44,0:00:28.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it seems like there are about 5,000 people still actively watching the videos\N
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.42,0:00:32.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and about 2,000 people doing all the work of the homeworks.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.42,0:00:37.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But that’s, you know, overall it’s just been an enormous amount of stuff going on
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.19,0:00:40.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so it now have well over a million video views and all.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.63,0:00:43.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah, it’s very exciting.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.20,0:00:47.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Programming homework six, the parsing homework, was definitely our hardest homework so far\N
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.46,0:00:50.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and there were definitely problems with the code being under-commented\N
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.47,0:00:53.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we appreciate very much those of you who helped out each other in the forums
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.57,0:00:56.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and made things very clear for each other.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.67,0:01:01.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Those of you who managed to finish the homework have told us they got a lot out of it.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.20,0:01:04.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But those of you who didn’t have the time to do all of it,\N
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.37,0:01:07.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we encourage you to do come back and do programming homework seven and eight\N
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.32,0:01:11.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which are much easier than homework six and should be a lot fun as well.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.18,0:01:14.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the things that some people have been asking about is,\N
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.53,0:01:18.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,“Hey, can we take those great parsers that we did write for programming assignment six\N
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.83,0:01:23.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and keep on working on them by posting them on Github or some other site like that?”\N
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.76,0:01:26.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is a slight problem with that because, you know,\N
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.96,0:01:29.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we are hoping that we’ll be able to do this course again some time in the future\N
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.94,0:01:32.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we’d like to be able to reuse some of the assignments\N
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.27,0:01:37.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I’d really prefer that there just aren’t great solutions to all the assignments sitting on the open web\N
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.72,0:01:41.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to keep some of that stuff on the forum sites for the class.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.87,0:01:46.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, it’s great that people want to keep exploring and doing better things for NLP\N
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.53,0:01:50.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but we’d really think it’s probably a better idea for you
Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.14,0:01:53.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to pick up one of the several open source NLP frameworks that’re out there
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.74,0:01:56.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and look at ways in which you can contribute to that\N
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.54,0:01:59.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,’cause that both doesn’t sort of conflict with our assignments\N
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.37,0:02:03.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but that’s actually going to be more useful for you and people around the world in general\N
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.59,0:02:05.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you’re helping along these open source frameworks.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.94,0:02:09.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So there are good ones — For Python NLTK is the best-known one;
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.58,0:02:13.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and there are several well-known Java NLP open source frameworks\N
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.35,0:02:16.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which certainly includes our own Stanford NLP tools\N
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.51,0:02:20.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also other things like OpenNLP, the GATE NLP Framework;\N
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.64,0:02:24.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,components: UIMA — a bunch of stuff out there if you look around.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.96,0:02:31.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay and that brings up the issue of what’s going to happen with this class website after the class ends.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.39,0:02:33.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It {\i1}is{\i0} going to stay open and available
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.81,0:02:37.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and all you guys will be able to keep on looking at stuff and referencing things
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.66,0:02:43.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and even beyond that, what we’re also going to have is this going to be available in an archive mode.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.02,0:02:46.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, people who haven’t been registered in the class
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.15,0:02:50.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will also be able to look at the content in terms of the videos that are up there
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.23,0:02:52.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but not the programming assignments
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.60,0:02:56.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which we are kind of going to keep to the people who were enrolled in the class.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.03,0:02:58.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But you shouldn’t worry about things going away.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.39,0:03:00.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yes and those of you who are enrolled can still —
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.41,0:03:02.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the forum will stay up —
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.41,0:03:05.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we encourage you to continue to talk to each other on the forums.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.38,0:03:07.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Those of you who never got to finish some of the homeworks,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.82,0:03:09.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,keep working on the homeworks,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.31,0:03:11.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,go ahead and post them. The site will stay up.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.73,0:03:16.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then for new people we will eventually be teaching the class again
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.06,0:03:18.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but meanwhile we’ll be leaving the videos up
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.30,0:03:21.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so if your friends want to watch the videos, we encourage that.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.07,0:03:24.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then eventually we’ll actually teach the class again.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.58,0:03:29.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact for everybody, it’s been really helpful on the forums there —
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.75,0:03:33.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we mentioned this earlier about helping people out with the code,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.17,0:03:35.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,helping people out with basic NLP.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.92,0:03:39.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It’s been very supportive community and we really appreciate that and we think it’s really great.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.96,0:03:42.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We’d like help from you in suggesting —
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.81,0:03:46.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you have already given us suggestions for next year but I’ve put up a forum just now
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.98,0:03:51.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we’d like you, give us specific suggestions about ways we can make the course better for next year.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.93,0:03:53.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We know Homework six is one of them
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.82,0:03:57.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but there’s lot of suggestions you’ve given about improving the problem sets
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.38,0:03:59.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or other reading material we can suggest
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.92,0:04:03.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or anything else that will help us improve our course for the second time we teach it
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.56,0:04:05.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that would be great.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.36,0:04:12.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We all have dreams of the future where there are computers with full natural language understanding
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.87,0:04:16.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in our research we still variously hoped to work to those goals
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.47,0:04:21.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but in terms of the practical NLP that’s deployed around the world at the moment,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.99,0:04:25.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really you guys are just seeing the ton of the stuff that are actually used.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.39,0:04:30.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Things like text classifiers, building sequence classifiers, named entities and other things,\N
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.59,0:04:34.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,parsers, questions answering, machine techniques,…\N
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.53,0:04:37.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you really should feel good if you’ve made your way through this class
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.43,0:04:41.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you are a competent practitioner of the kind of useful NLP techniques
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.97,0:04:47.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that’re leading to a new class of more intelligent language-wielding computer applications
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.52,0:04:51.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so we hope that you’ll be able to take these ideas and knowledge,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.19,0:04:56.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and go off and apply them in many different places.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.23,0:05:01.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We clearly are in this world now where human language material is just everywhere over the web
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.48,0:05:06.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as part of the new move to the content authoring and social computing that’s going on everywhere.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.93,0:05:09.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So much of that is about language use.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.38,0:05:13.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So now you have a good toolkit to be able to go off and do things with that material
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.09,0:05:16.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we hope that you’ll be able to find good things to do.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.01,0:05:21.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah. Thanks for taking the class and look forward to seeing you wherever and whenever we see you.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.15,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thanks a lot.
