In July 2015 I started a new long-term project to become an expert in Computational Linguistics. I call it Personal PhD. All the details and backstory are described here.
The curriculum for the first quarter is as follows:
Computer Science track:
1. Do half of Andrew’s Ng Machine Learning course on Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning), watch videos and do homework. I opted for doing the course at half speed as 2-3 hours per week is a more realistic target of what I could devote to it than 5-7 hours per week as stated on the course website.
2. Watch all videos of Automatic Speech Recognition class at youtube link.
