Christopher Manning is the Thomas M. Siebel Professor in Machine Learning in the Departments of Linguistics and Computer Science at Stanford University, where Manning founded the Stanford NLP Group, and a co-founder and Senior Fellow of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI). Manning's homepage describes research on neural natural language understanding, including the GloVe word vectors, attention, neural machine translation, question answering, and dependency parsing, as well as work as a principal developer of Universal Dependencies. Manning co-authored textbooks on statistical NLP and information retrieval, taught CS224N, Natural Language Processing with Deep Learning, nearly every year from 2000 to 2024, and co-authored the Stanza paper for the Stanford NLP Group's Apache-2.0 Python library. Manning held faculty positions at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Sydney before returning to Stanford.123

The Stanford NLP Python library for tokenization, sentence segmentation, named entity recognition, and parsing is released under the Apache License 2.0, and Manning's homepage names Stanford CoreNLP and Stanza as the group's open-source NLP software.31
GloVe: Global Vectors for Word Representation (external site: aclanthology.org)Published research
Co-author with Jeffrey Pennington and Richard Socher of the EMNLP 2014 paper that introduced the GloVe word vectors.2
CS224N: Natural Language Processing with Deep Learning (external site: web.stanford.edu)Published research
Taught the Stanford course nearly every year from 2000 to 2024; the homepage links complete lecture video playlists and slides from five editions of the course.1
