How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
Ever wonder what it takes to compute language (language in this case refers to what we humans speak and or/write)? From
Wikipedia: Computational linguistics is an
interdisciplinary field dealing with the
statistical and/or rule-based modeling of
natural language from a computational perspective. This modeling is not limited to any particular field of
linguistics. Traditionally, computational linguistics was usually performed by
computer scientists who had specialized in the application of computers to the processing of a
natural language. Computational linguists often work as members of interdisciplinary teams, including linguists (specifically trained in linguistics), language
experts (persons with some level of ability in the languages relevant to a given project), and computer scientists. In general computational linguistics draws upon the involvement of linguists,
computer scientists, experts in
artificial intelligence,
cognitive psychologists,
mathematicians, and
logicians, amongst others.
Here, we meet some of the scientists in Microsoft Research who work on computational linguistics. The great Erik Meijer conducts the interview. Special guests are: Researchers Chris Quirk, Michael Gamon and Lucy Vanderwende. This is a great Expert to Expert since the Experts in this case are from different domains of expertise (Erik is a programming language specialist. The scientists Erik converses with are specialists in natural language computation, linguisitics and mathematics). This is a fascinating conversation that spans topics from natural language processing to computing understanding (Yes. AI comes up...).
Enjoy!

You forgot to post the link in the show notes
Cheers!
I remember wishing for more videos with Erik, but this is beyond my wildest dreams, thanks C9 team!
Nice shirt again Erik
