Lectures and "flipped session" materials from my NYU DS "Text as Data" course, spring 2021

Text as Data Class for Spring 2021

This repo contains materials from my NYU DS "Text as Data" course from spring 2021. You will also find a syllabus. The course is updated from the one I taught previously---in particular, there is now more content on deep learning representations, including word embeddings. I will leave my 2018 repo up for now, though.

The lectures are split into two types:

  • "pre-recorded" content: these slides were the backdrop for my weekly (uploaded) videos that students watched before coming to class. These are "core" teaching, and don't require any audience input.
  • "flipped" classroom sessions: these were taught interactively with the students, once a week. They include material recap, quizzes, questions, problems, technical extensions, discussion of applications etc.

If you need the underlying .tex files, images, animations etc and you are an educator, drop me a line: I will do my best to get those to you.

My excellent teaching assistant, Lucia Motolinia has teaching materials for each of her weekly labs here.
