Microserf: I'm sitting in a meeting at the Microsoft campus listening to the very interesting Eric Brill from the MS research team. He's talking about language and how Microsoft approaches text handling. I thought it would be cool to post whilst in a meeting at Microsoft, if only for the bragging rights. I'm also skirting round the NDA, however we're assured we can mention the term "personalised search". Fascinating stuff. Eric's been talking about noisy channels. Lili Cheng is talking about social computing. I've been talking spam techniques with Greg Boser. Kidding.
