Hello! I am a student in the History of Computing class at San Jose State University (http://www.cs.sjsu.edu/~mak/CS185C/). This is a work in progress that will turn into a final article by the end of the semester. I welcome your comments and advice!
My official topic is: "The history and development of text based natural language processing." It is a very interesting topic to me and I have plans to go to the SRI with in the next two weeks or so and I will be posting more information as I go!
If any one has information they would like to share please email me at rlichtig@gmail.com, or you can make a discussion about it.
Thank you very much and all input is helpful!
