Dear all, My name is Amr Keleg. I am currently working as a teacher assistant at the Computer and systems department, Faculty of engineering, Ain shams university, Cairo, Egypt. I have graduated from faculty of engineering, Ain shams university in 2017 as the first of my class of 138 students.
I am interested in NLP and I am very excited to contribute to Apertium. I worked as a full-time engineer for nearly a year and my role was implementing a sentiment analysis model for the Arabic language but from a machine learning point of view. I know that developing rule-based solutions requires both efforts and deep knowledge. I am currently pursuing my master's degree and the GSoC program will allow me to explore the NLP field more. I am looking forward to learning from Apertium's maintainers and developers. I have participated in GSoC2016<https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2016/projects/5461783343005696/> and contributed to the GNU Octave project. I learned a lot throughout the programme and worked with new technologies and tools. Since then, I have made some contributions to open source projects like: gensim, cltk and asciinema. I am willing to contribute to Apertium and become a regular maintainer. I am interested in the "Unsupervised weighting of automata" project. I have already installed Apertium and tried the Arabic-Maltese model. I will start working on the coding challenge. I would like to contact the project's mentors so that we can discuss the project's details. Thanks and looking forward to collaborating with you. Best Regards, Amr
