A fundamental and useful book. Would highly recommend for anyone interested in Natural Language Processing.
Mar 02, 2013Robert Muller rated it liked it · review of another edition
I found this book comprehensive but incomprehensible, primarily because of the lack of real-world examples. It would benefit from a series of programming exercises with training sets made available through a web site. This would tie the extremely abstract algorithms to technology and data. If you are a strong computer scientist with lots of experience in abstract algorithms, this book should give you what you need. If you are interested in producing real-world software systems to do serious spee...more

Jurafsky provides a solid foundational knowledge for computational linguistic - it introduces linguistics, computer science and statistics at comprehensive depth.
Some of the major concepts for anybody who wants to know about computational linguistic.
Language Model: the book introduces basic models and algorithms evolved around linguistics. There are two major approaches: 1) statistics-based parsing 2) linguistic-based parsing. In practice, most models are built with mixture of both.

This book's reputation as a classic NLP text is well deserved. Numerous diagrams, illustrations, and explanations helped me to understand this bewildering subject. Because this is an academic text book, there are many equations, but few practical examples. For down-and-dirty examples, you might be better served with internet tutorials or the O'Reilly book. But if you want to understand why things work they way they do, this book is great.

Very interesting & useful book for everybody who is interested in natural language processing. I read it when I took online NLP class from prof. Jurafsky at Coursera, and found many interesting things there.
I really didn't read it completely, for example, I omitted the speech recognition part, but I plan to return to this book in the near future...

I haven't read this book cover to cover but it's always on my desk and I find myself referring to it at least once a day, and in that, I believe I probably read most of its contents. This is a fundamental reference book for any computational linguist, speech scientist or language data scientist. The explanations and illustrations are very intuitive and not at all boring.
Jun 22, 2019Ariel Littlemermaid rated it liked it · review of another edition
An all-inclusive, encylopedic-like textbook on linguistics with an emphasis on the latest developments on speech and language recognition (e.g. computational linguistics, machine translation). I liked the detailed descriptions of various linguistic terms (e.g. prepositions, postpositions, syntactic parsing etc.) and the meticulous summarisation of almost each paragraph on the left margins, but I didn't particularly like/could not follow/could not understand the extensive algebraic fractions and...more

The holy grail of Natural Language Processing. Includes state of the art algorithms and delves into subjects such as machine learning in detail despite not being it's main focus. It also includes plenty of automata theory which is it's basis for many of the algorithms presented.
Not an easy book by any means and if I had any complaint, is that it's extremely verbose and at the same time extremely technical. So in depth understanding of automata and math is required.
Definitely to read again.
In the words of one of my coworkers 'That book is awesome!'
I first read this book in 2011 as a grad student, and still return to this resource on a weekly basis! Fantastic overview of NLP techniques.
I'm looking forward to the 3rd edition.
Recomendado en Natural Language Processing with Python como un texto más avanzado.

This book is good for fundamental understanding of NLP. But some area is not explained well here.
Jan 29, 2019Jesús Navarro rated it really liked it
Great overview of different problems and methods in NLP. Gives a good sense of what the challenges are and the different existing areas under the NLP umbrella.
Incredible.

After some research on NLP related resources, I decided to buy Speech and Language Processing by Daniel Jurafsky & James H. Martin.
It is quite the door stopper.
As usual when buying a textbook, I hoped the book would serve as an introduction, when reading it for the first time, and as a reference for later. Having just finished it, I will only speak about the qualities of the book as an introductory text.
Let me get the obvious out of the way: the book is massive. Yet due to the broad scope...more

Shelves: computers, linguistics, nlp, non-fiction
Highlights of this book are a good intuitive description of smoothing and an excellent exposition on the Early parser...This book and Foundations of Statistical Natural Language Processing by Christopher D. Manning and Hinrich Schütze are the standard textbooks in natural language processing. For my money, Manning and Schütze is the better book--I find the exposition clearer and the math more rigorous--but Jurafsky and Martin covers more ground and assumes slightly less mathematical backgroun...more

This and Foundations of Statistical Natural Language Processing by Manning and Schutze are the two big introductory texts in natural language processing. I prefer the Jurafsky book; it goes into more detail, has more examples, and is written more for use as a class text. Make sure you get the second edition, though.

Recommends it for: anyone interested in computational linguistics
This is a good introduction to all the major topics of computational linguistics, which includes automatic speech recognition and processing, machine translation, information extraction, and statistical methods of linguistic analysis, among other things.
Jan 10, 2016Liuyang Li rated it it was amazing · review of another edition
My professor chose this as the text book for our computational linguistic course. The book covers all aspects that we discussed in a semester and gives excellent intuitive explanations as well formal derivations. I loved the course and the book
Jul 16, 2013Carl-Erik Kopseng rated it it was amazing
One of the better computer science titles I have read. Comprehensive and contains enough info on everything to give you a good basic understanding. As little bit of math is required for understanding, but it is a science book after all :-)

this book is good. the authors occasionally ramble about simultaneous discovery in science, which i didn't find interesting, but that stuff is infrequent and easily ignored. overall, it's awesome.

Dan Jurafsky is the recipient of a MacArthur 'Genius Grant' and a professor of linguistics at Stanford University. He and his wife live in San Francisco.

For undergraduate or advanced undergraduate courses in Classical Natural Language Processing, Statistical Natural Language Processing, Speech Recognition, Computational Linguistics, and Human Language Processing. An explosion of Web-based language techniques, merging of distinct fields, availability of phone-based dialogue systems, and much more make this an exciting time in speech and language processing. The first of its kind to thoroughly cover language technology – at all levels and with all modern technologies – this text takes an empirical approach to the subject, based on applying statistical and other machine-learning algorithms to large corporations. The authors cover areas that traditionally are taught in different courses, to describe a unified vision of speech and language processing. Emphasis is on practical applications and scientific evaluation. An accompanying Website contains teaching materials for instructors, with pointers to language processing resources on the Web. The Second Edition offers a significant amount of new and extended material.
