Speech and Language Processing (3rd ed. draft)
Dan Jurafsky and James H. Martin

Here's our Feb 3, 2024 release! We also expect to release Chapter 12 soon in an updated release.

Individual chapters and updated slides are below; here is a single pdf of all the chapters in the Feb 3, 2024 release!

Feel free to use the draft chapters and slides in your classes, the resulting feedback we get from you makes the book better!
As always, typos and comments very welcome (just email slp3edbugs@gmail.com and let us know the date on the draft)! (Don't bother reporting missing refs due to cross-chapter cross-reference problems in the indvidual chapter pdfs, those are fixed in the full book draft)

We've put up a list here of the amazing people who have sent so many fantastic suggestions and bug-fixes for improving the book. We are really grateful to all of you for your help, the book would not be possible without you!

When will the whole book be finished? Don't ask.
