#2About the "Text-to-Speech" section there, I was really impressed with the updated Swedish "Alva" voice in OSX El Capitan: it correctly pronounces "tomten" in different ways in the first and second occurrence in this example:
say -v Alva "Tomten dricker julmust på tomten"
"Tomten" can mean either "Santa Claus" or "the yard"/"the plot" depending on context, and apparently they're able to detect this properly.

#3Those curated lists poppung up all over the place seem to indicate a need for pre-Google-style Altavista/Yahoo portals.

OS X makes progress with every release on this front. I typically test it with a few tricky french sentences (think "les poules du couvent couvent") and it seems to improve, but it's hard to say from the outside what gets better in the model ("Mes fils ont cassé mes fils" still fails for instance, but seems harder to detect to me)

Indeed I've also noticed that.
The web had a chaotic growth in the first decades but now it looks as if on one end, the larger websites have killed smaller ones, and on the other it has grown so large that search is no longer enough.
You need organization.

What is Apple's approach to NLP and speech? What algorithms are they using?

#7Could anyone point me to some sentiment analysis frameworks and/or update the list to include some?

Curation is always the next step after explosion of content. Yahoo was curation of the whole internet. Then it got too hard. Now, we have enough content in tiny sub-niches to need curation on that level. I definitely see the need for curation of resources around the topic I am interested in (Apache Solr).
Unfortunately, I haven't seen a good software platform that actually allows to build a good curation site. Ones that exist want you to build the content for them. I want one I can run/own/brand on my own. I suspect there might be some in the library space though (haven't search _very_ hard yet).

There always seemed to be a need for dedicated lists. Rather than curate, I'm trying to build a dedicated mini "search engine" for Swift/iOS Resources: http://www.h4labs.com/dev/ios/swift.html
The Internet contains so much information on any given topic that if you have a question, it probably has already been answered. If we could build better search engines, we could learn anything in a fraction of the time.

Emacs and HTML work fine, and have been a pretty good solution for the last 20 years.
