<br>I __might__ be able to choose a
project to work one year (I mean one year, every day, several
hours/day). The project must be something related to NLP (Natural
Language Processing). I love KDE and did some kde programming before (still some todo item in the kde 4.2 feature list...cough cough ). <br>I am pretty sure that something can take advantage of language processing on the whole KDE desktop. I just need to convince my teacher that working on that can be called research. <br>
Any idea will be welcome, crazy ideas very wellcome (one year is a lot of time)... <br><br>So far, asking in the IRC channel, I got a couple of them<br><br>- Krunner as a natural language CLI. I already thought about this time ago, but for most practical purposes a simple verb + object system would be enough IMHO and that it not a one year project for sure.<br>
- A semantic map: how close is semantically the information, for instance songs of the same artist are closer than songs of the same year. I think this is cool and will go into Nepomuk sometime if it isn't already in, but I fail to see the language processing (except for emails, text, pdf, webpages and the like). <br>
<br>- A conversational agent. A small guy in the corner of you plasma desktop that gives conversation and recommends items related to what you are doing or tips, etc. Even maybe learn what you like from what you do and then suggest music, blogs, or whatever other information. <br>
<br clear="all">Any opinion about these ideas is very much welcomed.<br><br><br>-- <br>Jordi Polo Carres<br>NLP laboratory - NAIST<br><br>
