[Menaka]

Hi all,
With great enthusiasm, I signed up for this group only to see no
activity in the recent past.
Please restart activity so that we can all benefit .
Thanks

I trailed off via the holidays and work has picked up significantly for me.

First and foremost, however, a group like this is predicated on participation. I had the sense that only a few people were actually putting out their thoughts on the first two papers we read. Perhaps some of it is just the nature of the forum, but I think it's paramount that people find ways to ask questions, bring up discussion points, etc. People also need to step up and say they are willing to be the EOTM or whatever other mechanism we have for picking papers. The group will only be as good as those who choose to participate.

Another thought is to make the group just a more general NLP discussion group and that it doesn't have to be tied specifically to a paper at all times. For instance, people could just say things like: "I'm reading this paper now and am wondering what people think of the section 2.1..." We can still have the "assigned reading", but we can also just make it more discussion.

I'm working on a PhD - Project related to grammar induction and
accordingly do a lot of reading around that topic. If anyone is
interested, I could start a subthread about approaches in supervised
and unsupervised methods for deriving grammars and POS - Categories.

Please start. I'm interested.

I too would be very interested in, specifically unsupervised methods!
