As a working computational linguist I shiver anytime human language technology is discussed on HN. Smart developers (who don't work on human language) are shockingly ignorant about natural language processing. For instance, this article reinvents "chunking". People who are interested in these problems are advised to read the entire NLTK book and Jurafsky & Martin textbook before reinventing square wheels. </$.02>
