This a great resource, I use it regularly as a reference and it would work well as a textbook too.<p>It&#x27;s also comprehensive, from traditional statistical methods, linear models &amp; context-free parsing right through to modern neural network-based approaches.<p>There&#x27;s been a lot of progress in the past 18 months (mainly the transformer&#x2F;self-attention model) that I don&#x27;t think is reflected, but that&#x27;s probably because it&#x27;s so recent. I assume this will warrant a mention in future editions.

Is there a place where one can test their NLP understanding online?

I wish Jacob didn&#x27;t run away to Google and instead made an online NLP class @ Udacity&#x2F;edX.

Someone who read it, is is suitable for a complete beginner with some math background?
