Perhaps, does she want to developed it out of GSoC? I think that it is a very interesting topic.
If she know a bit of image processing, probably she know more about it that most of us. But we can help her with the pywikipedia bot to retrieve images/wikipages and submit the categorized image results to Wikimedia Commons.

Hello,
My name is Emanuela Boros and I am a second year Software Engineering master's student at the "Al. Ioan Cuza" University of Iasi, Romania and, after I graduate, I plan to follow a phd program.
My research experience is focused mainly towards computer vision, image processing, machine learning, multimodal information retrieval. It also involves participating at international evaluation campaigns (ImageClef, RobotVision) focusing on content-based image retrieval, image classification and topological localization using visual information
I am interested in this project https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2012#Image_recognition .
I've
noticed that there isn't a mentor mentioned for this project and I would like to know who should I contact for further clarifications regarding
this
project before I start writing my proposal.
Thank you and best regards, Emanuela Boros
Emanuela, thank you for your interest in MediaWiki. Given the lack of response to you (and to a few other students who are interested in this idea), I'm sorry to say that I do not think there is a mentor available for this idea.
We do have a lot of ideas that mentors are interested in guiding: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2012#Project_ideas so perhaps you will find one of them interesting. I'm sorry for the trouble.
