Corpora: hip hop

[Dave Sheard]

Hi,

The system is quite interesting. Where can I found
more on this topic? (papers, slides, workshops?) Is
there any other question answering systems online?  I
know AskJeeves, but seems it only gives you the URLs.
You still need to dig answers by yourself.

Thanks in advance.

Dave
