In our third installment, we look at how NLP and AI interact with the broader world, from human speech recognition to the algorithms that decide what shows up in your social feed.

Key Topics:• Speech Recognition: Converting audio to data.• Recommendation Systems: The AI behind "You might also like..."• Social Networks & Web Links: How PageRank organizes the internet.

Things get "deep" this week. We trace the evolution of how AI understands the meaning of words—moving from simple vectors to the revolutionary Transformer architecture that powers today’s LLMs.

Key Topics:• Vector & Contextual Embeddings: Mathematical meaning.• Neural Networks: Biological inspiration.• LLMs & Transformers: The breakthrough that changed everything.

We kick off our deep dive into Stanford’s CS124 with the building blocks of NLP. This episode covers how computers "read" and organize language before moving into the math behind search.

Key Topics:• Words & Tokens: How we break down language.• N-gram Language Modeling: Predicting sequences.• Logistic Regression: The classification workhorse.• Information Retrieval: How search engines work.
