Tentative Schedule for Natural Language Processing

The Friday classes are makeup classes for anticipated cancellations. Those classes are optional to attend in person but their content is mandatory. Class videos will be available. As the cancellations become known, we will shift the schedule to take up the currently unassigned slots later in the semester.
