Hi Philipp,
we are very interested in topic 5.15, which I think can be tackled quite
nicely in the GSoC format. I would suggest you submit a proposal to
Melange, so we can give feedback there. In general, for this project, it
would be good to familiarize yourself with the way the disambigutation is
performed in Spotlight (currently with 'dumb' context vectors; this is
probably a good starting point in the code: [1]).
Best,
Jo
