Dear all, I am Mondher Bouazizi, from Tunisia. I am a Master's student at Keio University in Japan. My academic research is currently focusing on Data Mining.
I am glad to inform you that my project proposal has been accepted for the Google Summer of Code 2015. The proposal is to add a Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) component to the OpenNLP library. The objective of WSD is to determine which sense of a word is meant in a particular context. Different techniques are proposed in the academic literature,but in general they fall mainly into two categories: Supervised and Unsupervised. In my work I will design and build a WSD module that implement the algorithms of common supervised techniques (e.g. Decision Trees, Exemplar-Based or Instance-Based Learning, etc.) On the other hand, my colleague Anthony, who got also accepted, will be working on the unsupervised ones. (For more details about the project, please check the issue I created here <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENNLP-757>) I hope the work will make a good contribution to OpenNLP project and to the open source community in general. Yours sincerely, Mondher Bouazizi
