The reading group attempts to keep abreast of current trends in natural language processing research. We typically read one or two recent NLP conference papers each week, and occasionally look at material from the machine learning, statistics, and linguistics communities as well.

Starting in 2008, we will be posting the weekly readings here. Past readings since 2001 will be posted shortly.
