State Of The Art -- ACLTwiki -- NLP and CL

From the abstract of the page:

``The purpose of this section of the ACL wiki is to be a repository of k-best state-of-the-art results (i.e. methods and software) for various core natural language processing tasks.

As a side effect, this should hopefully evolve into a knowledge base of standard evaluation methods and datasets for various tasks, as well as encourage more effort into reproducibility of results.

This will help newcomers to a field appreciate what has been done so far and what the main tasks are, and will help keep active researchers informed on fields other than their specific research. The next time you'd need a system for PP attachment, or wonder what is the current state of word sense disambiguation, this will be the place to visit.''

What To See -- NLP and CL readings and a useful tool

Here's the abstract of a useful page I found on the web:

``I have a routine problem that sometimes paper titles are not enough to tell me what papers to read in recent conferences, and I often do not have time to read abstracts fully. This collection of scripts is designed to help alleviate the problem. Essentially, what it will do is compare what papers you like to cite with what new papers are citing. High overlap means the paper is probably relevant to you. Sure there are counter-examples, but overall I have found it useful (eg., it has suggested papers to me that are interesting that I would otherwise have missed). Of course, you should also read through titles since that is a somewhat orthogonal source of information. Here is how to use the system. You upload your personal bibtex file and have the system compare it to a known conference index; it will then present a list of papers, sorted by relevance.''
