This Thursday, June 7 2011, will be the first meeting of the Bay Area NLP group, at Chomp HQ in San Francisco, where I will be giving a talk on NLTK titled “NLTK: the Good, the Bad, and the Awesome”. I’ll be sharing some of the things I’ve learned using NLTK, operating text-processing.com, and doing random consulting on natural language processing. I’ll also explain why NLTK-Trainer exists and how awesome it is for training NLP models. So if you’re in the area and have some time Thursday evening, come by and say hi.

Update on 07/10/2011: slides are online from my talk: NLTK: the Good, the Bad, and the Awesome.
