I found a tremendously helpful blog post re: NLP and deep learning here with great insight on cutting edge NLP/DL techniques. It looks like the blogger will continue to maintain and update.
The blog is not mine. It is put together by Sebastian Rudder who is a PhD student and I'm only posting it here to bookmark/share. I especially like this deep list of citations so it's easy to pull the papers for more detail and information.
Please re-steem and spread the knowledge!
