Day 2 of the workshops at EACL

Today I attended part of the ATEM (Adaptive Text Extraction and Mining) workshop where Caroline presented one of our MITCH papers (unfortunately I missed her presentation because it wasn't in the time slot I had expected it to be) and the rest of the day I attended the New Text workshop on Wikis and blogs and other dynamic text sources. I had no idea what to expect from it and it turned out to be very interesting. Although I'm too tired now to really tell you what it was all about, and most of you don't really care anyway...no offence..

I've also very much enjoyed listening to people's accents. Some accents are very hard to understand, and more interesting (and puzzling) than fun. But I also thoroughly enjoyed the absolutely fantastic pronunciation and word use of some British speakers, oh it's just so good!
