Foreword
“Written by a group of the most active researchers in the field, led by Dr. Deng, an
internationally respected expert in both NLP and deep learning, this book provides
a comprehensive introduction to and up-to-date review of the state of art in applying
deep learning to solve fundamental problems in NLP. Further, the book is highly
timely, as demands for high-quality and up-to-date textbooks and research refer-
ences have risen dramatically in response to the tremendous strides in deep learning
applications to NLP. The boo k offers a unique reference guide for practitioners in
various sectors, especially the Inter net and AI start-ups, where NLP technologies
are becoming an essential enabler and a core differentiator.”

“This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the latest advances in deep
learning applied to NLP. Written by experienced and aspiring deep learning and
NLP researchers, it covers a broad range of major NLP applications, including
spoken language understanding, dialog systems, lexical analysis, parsing, knowl-
edge graph, machine translation, question answering, sentiment analysis, and social
computing.
The book is clearly structured and moves from major research trends, to the
latest deep learning approaches, to their limitations and promising future work.
Given its self-contained content, sophisticated algorithms, and detailed use cases,
the book offers a valuable guide for all readers who are working on or learning
about deep learning and NLP.”

of ACL)
“In 2011, at the dawn of deep learning in industry, I estimated that in most speech
recognition applications, computers still made 5 to 10 times more errors than human
subjects, and highlighted the importance of knowledge engineering in future
directions. Within only a handful of years since, deep learning has nearly closed the
gap in the accuracy of conversational speech recognition between human and
computers. Edited and written by Dr. Li Deng—a pioneer in the recent speech
