Sriram Sankar will be speaking at my web systems and algorithms course on Wednesday, November 30 at 2:15pm in HR232 (the big auditorium). His title is "Real-World Experiences with Search Engines". Sriram definitely knows what he's talking about as he worked at Google Search and is currently lead ranking guy at Facebook Search. Sriram did his PhD at Stanford University and is the author of JavaCC , a competing parser generator to ANTLR. :)

USF releases ANTLR 3.4

posted Jul 20, 2011 3:22 PM by Terence Parr

USF Professor Terence Parr released version 3.4 of the ANTLR parser generator. The primary reason for this release is to remove the dependency on ANTLR v2. ANTLR v3.3 and earlier were written using ANTLR v2 grammars and StringTemplate v3, which itself had an ANTLR v2 dependency. See ANTLR 3.4 release notes for more info.
