Sudeep,

Thank you for your interest in our GSOC effort this year!!

I'm intrigued by some of your ideas - especially the backwards compatibility extension (although I imagine that has more benefit for third-party wikis than WMF wikis).

Google's deadline is quickly approach - April 6th. I'd suggest going to our GSOC page on the MW.org site - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/GSOC - reviewing the info there, posting your proposal on your Userpage, then post it on this listserv and in our IRC room - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_on_IRC

Hi,

I am sudeep. I am final year student at Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur in the computer science department.

I am interested to apply in the following projects for gsoc 2012

1. Lucene automatic query expansion from wikipedia text
2. Backwards compatibility extension
3. Semantic form rules
4. Index transcluded text in search

I have a strong background in Information retrieval and Machine learning. I have worked previously with Yahoo Research Labs in the area of Information retrieval. We extracted association rules and attribite-value pairs from the webpages using unsupervised approach.

I have also worked on another project with yahoo, which involved emotion detection of youtube videos, based on the comments of the users. We used various ML, Statisitcs andf IR techniques to achieve our goal.

I last year succesfully completed GSOC 2011, with OSGEO and have good experience in Open Source Development.

Kindly let me know how shall I proceed with my application.

Thanks regards Sudeep _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Hi we are running out of time

Thanks for your interest in out project at Wikimedia The GSOC proposals should be mostly specified by the student – Those of you who have not done so should draft proposals and place them in at www.mediawiki.org in your user space, then post a link here, or email me so we can process them.

1. I have expanded the requirement of my project ideas a bit. However I have left room for your ideas. There is plenty of similar work published on these subject -- Research these and refine your proposals with tools/algorithms you would like to use and preferred formats, so that deliverables that would be widely reused. 2. I am contacting two researchers who have worked on similar projects to check if they wish to Co-operate by contribute Code and helping with the Linguistics side of the Mentoring. 3. I can answer specific questions you have about expectation.

To optimally match you with a suitable high impact project – please let us know: *Your development experience what projects have you done and where –

specially what are your experience with: *Java and other programming languages? *PHP *Apache Lucene or Solr *Natural Language Processing *Data Mining *Corpus Linguistics *WordNet

Since these projects are highly multilingual please tell us what is your native language and what other language you can use (scale from 1 beginner to 5 near native).
