Spring 2024 - Not recommended. Somehow, this professor is giving me HCI vibes. The assignments are tedious chores with no coding or math involved. The first assignment involves reading some dumb papers and then writing a summary. The second assignment is even worse—they give you 15 question-answer pairs, feed them to ChatGPT, observe, and then write a report. What a joke. The final project is also a huge abomination, similar to the second assignment.. The tests are easy, all multiple choice, if you already know the content. However, they will likely be challenging if you know nothing about NLP beforehand, as this professor provides zero examples. The actual course content is only about half of what a course should be, as we had two midterms and a three-week student presentation at the end of the semester, also holidays. If you truly want to learn about NLP, take courses with Dr. Sun or Kao. Even though their courses do not have NLP in the title, you will learn much more about NLP from them. Overall, a huge disappointment of a course!
