Hi,
In the various reading groups, it seems that there are a few well
regarded papers that "people in the know" know about, so how did they
discover them? For that matter how do you go about staying relatively
current in the field?
I believe this would be good info to have in the group, and possibly a
good source for new papers for the group.
So how do we discover new papers?
Is it citation crawling?
Is there a site somewhere that publishes all new papers (and how do we
pick the better ones)?
Is it based on conference proceedings?
Is it based on traditionally publishing journals?
Are there some blogs or RSS feeds out there?
Currently I tend to use ACLweb (http://aclweb.org/anthology-new/) to
try and keep up with conferences & whatever journals are on it. Though
admittedly I hardly have the time to go through all the papers to pick
out the seminal ones, so I mostly just skim the titles until I spot
something interesting.

I kind of wonder around.
I belong to ACM and read the "Transactions on Speech and Language
Processing" and Communications regularly. Whenever there is a topic
I'm interested in, I dig into the references to see if I can learn
more. Many of the same papers keep getting mentioned over and over
again. Additionally, when I read a book (Like Speech and Natural
Processing by Jurafsky and Martin), I usually dig into the references
as well.
I read the ACL CONLL for 2006 (back in 2007-8) in its entirety just to
get familiar with the what was current in the field. Much was beyond
my understanding but I had a 2 hour commute on a train to work and
lots of time to burn. I intended on moving to the following years but
never got the chance.
I've also wandered across these web sites and picked a few papers here
and there that caught my interest:
The Natural Language Group of Information Sciences Institute of USC -
http://www.isi.edu/natural-language/index.html
Language Technologies Institute - Carnegie Mellon - http://www.lti.cs.cmu.edu/
http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/groups/nlp/

Human Language Technology Research Institute - http://www.hlt.utdallas.edu/page.php?p=about
Brown Laboratory for Linguistic Information Processing (BLLIP) -
http://bllip.cs.brown.edu/
Language and Information Technologies - http://lit.csci.unt.edu/index.php/Main_Page
From time to time I visit THESE people's pages to see if there is
anything new I'm interested in:
Chris Manning - co-author of "Foundations of Statistical Natural
Language Processing" 1999 - stanford prof - http://www-nlp.stanford.edu/~manning/
Dan Jurafsky - co-author of "Speech and Language Processing" -
Professor Stanford - http://www.stanford.edu/~jurafsky/
James Martin - co-author of "Speech and Language Processing" -
Professor in Univ of Colorado - http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~martin/
Michael Collins - Collins Parser (MIT Professor) http://people.csail.mit.edu/mcollins/
Tom Mitchell - Author of "Machine Learning" 1997 - http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tom/
Eugene Charniak - Brown Univeristy Professor - http://www.cs.brown.edu/people/faculty/ec.html
Adwait Ratnaparkhi - Priniciple Research Scientist at Yahoo -
http://www.geocities.com/adwait_ratnaparkhi/
...and these are some of the better courses in the topic I've stumbled
across:
2009 Spring, Advanced natural Language Processing, Graduate, Xiaojin
Zhu, University of Wisconsin http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~jerryzhu/cs769.html
2008 Fall, 6.864 - Natrual Language Processing - MIT -

2009 Spring, Computational Semantics - Brandeis -
http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~cs135/index.html
http://videolectures.net/Top/Computer_Science/Natural_Language_Processing/
I keep a list of these in my google documents that I keep updating as
the mood strikes me.
Lately I've become interested in the lectures at:
http://videolectures.net/Top/Computer_Science/Natural_Language_Processing/
because I can hook my big screen TV up to my laptop and watch them
from my sofa.

I put together a list of comp ling blogs earlier this year. Probably could use some updating, and it's very incomplete when it comes to IR blogs, though I have a few.
