By the way, speaking of non-RE related topic, does anyone know if there is any company in SoCal that has an NLP (Natural Language Processing, not Neuro-linguistic programming!) group? There is even a meetup in Bay Area: http://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-NLP/ So I am wondering if I can find similar groups in San Diego to learn more about NLP.[/quote]
I believe UnitedHealth has several linguists/CS working on NLP. SDSU has graduate program in Computational Linguistics under the department of linguistics – you might be able to take some classes through their open university program.
