In the following table, the default readings refer to the Manning text. So "4" means Chapter 4 in Introduction to Information Retrieval. The information extraction (IE) material will be from Jurafsky and Martin; the opinion and sentiment readings will be from Pang and Lee.
You can retrieve the powerpoints and pdf handouts as I post them. You can also view the video/slide presentation capture for each lecture.
