Re: [Wikitech-l] GSOC2012 Image_recognition

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. 2012/3/23 Sumana Harihareswara <sumanah(a)wikimedia.org> > On 03/21/2012 04:00 PM, Emanuela Boroș wrote: >> Hello, >> >> My name is Emanuela Boros and I am a second year Software Engineering >> master's student at the "Al.
