Abstract
The course "Machine learning 2" is dedicated to the introduction to deep learning and natural language processing problems at the intersection of disciplines such as machine learning, deep learning, and linguistics. The course consists of three parts: (1) introduction to deep learning, (2) the basics part which covers the main concepts, models, and (3) task formulations, and the advanced part that focuses on industrial applications and modern scientific research.
