Hi Shivani,
Here are my comments on your proposal:
- The first thing you *must* do is to remove (most of) the bullets. The
application form is a guide and you are not meant to use it exactly as-is,
right now it is very hard to read.
- In "Please describe a tentative project architecture or an approach to
it:" section you should provide a summary of the *your* final view of the
idea (not the mentor's iterrations)
- The timeline you provide could be further enriched and/or broken down
to more timeslots
- In "Please describe any other project related experience (if any):"
You could provide links to the project code / demo or describe further the
project and/or the technologies used
Also note that freebase does not use DBpedia data but uses Wikipedia as one
of it's sources
That's all for now, once you revise it we can make a second review round.
Best,
Dimitris
