Reddit mentions of Neural Network Methods in Natural Language Processing (Synthesis Lectures on Human Language Technologies)

Fellow NLP'er here! Some of my favorites so far:

• Neural Network Methods in Natural Language Processing by Yoav Goldberg (2017). Okay for beginners, but even better as a reference work. I make sure to keep it close at hand.
  
• Introduction to Information Retrieval, aka the IR Book by Christopher Manning (2008).
  
• Deep Learning with Python by Francois Chollet. The first I book I recommend to anyone getting started with deep learning. I've read it cover to cover about three times.
  
• For programming in Python in general, I also really enjoyed Fluent Python by Luciano Ramalho (2015), which gave me my first glimpse of just how deep the Python rabbit hole goes.

Not the best book but if you are looking for a book covering some of the Neural Network methods used in NLP this recent book by Yoav Goldberg seems very promising.
