A good question. I have and have read about a dozen books on natural language processing, but I am hoping to get a more solid foundation.
I find the lectures interesting. I went to school at UCSB and mostly my teachers were very good, but I expect the "best of the best" from Stanford.
I enjoyed writing the first homework assignment late last night. I thought that it was an easy problem, but the more I worked on it the better results I got.
I am also taking the Probabilistic Graphical Models class because I don't have much experience in that area - that is fresh and new material for me.
