Amir, Thank you for your GSOC proposal! :) Between now and Google's submission deadline on April 6th - you are invited to further modify your proposals. The GSOC page on MW.org - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/GSOC - and our IRC rooms - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_on_IRC Looking over your proposal - I think you've got good background information on yourself. However, I think you should flush out more details on the proposed project. Without more familiarity with corpus (and with no links to find that info) - it's hard for everyone to weigh in equally or to make sure your project gets the full consideration you'd like. -greg aka varnent On Apr 3, 2012, at 4:18 PM, Amir E.

You do understand correctly! The main idea about NLP components is with POS tagger as an example: 1. a fall back system that does unsupervised POS tagging. 2. the ability to plug in an existing POS tagger as these become available for specific languages. I would as supervisor would recommend working with 3 languages. English, Hebrew, and the GSOC native language. If we could get QA from other native speakers we would incorporate them into the workflow. I think that by using a deletion/reversion based heuristic we may also be able to make a spam corpus to boost the accuracy of the corpuses.
