I haven't heard this talked about much, but I think reading groups are by far the best way to dip your toes into a research field. It's a chance to read some papers you might not normally read, as well as get to know some interesting people in the field.

In my experience, reading groups are typically very open to outsiders, especially if you have an interest in the field.

Thank you for the advice! Do you know some reading groups for NLP?

I'm not sure about other countries, but in Australia, I just searched for ML on Meetup.com, and found a group that frequently talks about NLP. You can always email the relevant lecturer at your local university, I'm sure they'd be glad to recommend a group to you.
