Nov 22Tu AI <=> HCI
  1. Analysis of Adjective-Noun Word Pair Extraction Methods for Online Review Summarization (ijcai 2011) [pdf] (original paper won Best Paper Award at CHI-11). Great application of NLP (PartOfSpeech tagging) to HCI. The POS tagger they used is quite advanced. However POS can be done with HMMs. I will distribute an short handout on this, to be read with the paper.   Mahsa
