I haven't worked in this area, but there is plenty around check out 
Professor Graeme Hirst  ( http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~gh/ ) from the 
University of Tronto who specialises in Computer Linguistics ( 
http://www.cs.toronto.edu/compling/Research/research.html )...

Bio:

Graeme Hirst is a professor of computer science at the University of 
Toronto, whose research covers a broad but integrated range of topics 
in computational linguistics and natural language understanding.He is 
the author of two monographs: Anaphora in Natural Language 
Understanding and Semantic Interpretation and the Resolution of 
Ambiguity. Hirst has received two awards for excellence in teaching, 
and has supervised graduate students in more than 35 theses and 
dissertations, four of which have been published as books. 


He gave a talk at Monash last month about some of his research. Also, 
somewhat to do with lingustics, is a another talk this Wednesday

Title:

To Search, Perchance to Find: Enhanced Information Access over
Troubleshooting-oriented Web User Forum Data

Date: Wednesday 26th May 2010
Time: 2:00pm
Venue: Seminar Room 26/135 Clayton School of IT, Monash University

Speaker:

Timothy Baldwin
University of Melbourne

Abstract:

The ILIAD (Improved Linux Information Access by Data Mining) Project is an
attempt to apply language technology to the task of Linux troubleshooting by
analysing the underlying information structure of a multi-document text
discourse and improving information delivery through a combination of
filtering, document categorisation, discourse analysis and information
extraction techniques. In this talk, I will outline the overall project design
and present results for a variety of sub-tasks.

staff member of the NICTA Victoria Research Laboratories. He will be visiting
the Monash Faculty of Information Technology throughout May, and has
previously held visiting positions at the University of Washington, University
of Tokyo, University of Saarland, and NTT Communication Science
Laboratories. His research interests cover topics including deep linguistic
processing, multiword expressions, deep lexical acquisition, computer-assisted
language learning, information extraction and web mining, with a particular
interest on the interface between computational and theoretical
linguistics. Current projects include web user forum mining, information
personalisation in museum contexts, biomedical text mining, online linguistic
exploration, and intelligent interfaces for Japanese language learners.

Tim completed a BSc(CS/Maths) and BA(Linguistics/Japanese) at the University
of Melbourne in 1995, and an MEng(CS) and PhD(CS) at the Tokyo Institute of

Channel9 videos?



http://channel9.msdn.com/

From Wikipedia:
*
*Channel 9* is a Microsoft  
community site used to promote conversations among Microsoft's 
customers targeted at Microsoft Windows 
 users and developers. 
Channel 9 features video channels, podcasts and screencasts including 
interviews with Microsoft developers about their products, discussion, 
and a wiki ,^[1] 
 
which has been adopted by various Microsoft teams as a way to 
aggregate feedback and respond to issues.


Unfortunately, no **/Eddie/* */McGuire/* 
  
on this channel nine. /s

RE: MVC Unit Testing

[Tiang Cheng]

Damian,
What did you use to generate those automated UI tests?

+1

This is what we found on our last project too, we had to mock a whole bunch of 
stuff to test controllers when most of the work was happening in other places, 
essentially these tests become redundant tests of your infrastructure. We had a 
suite of automated UI tests too which gave us good coverage of the controller 
actions.

Rx .NET is very cool and quite fun (if this is the "Rx" you mean)

if anyone knows somw cool blog posts, code snippets or videos urls
I would really appreciate them, as the doc's are a bit barren, there is a
few I have found

thanks :)
