Hi Rohan, I will try to provide you with some information for a GSoC proposal:
(1) Apache Stanbol is implemented in Java. So using non java libraries will require some additional work (e.g. Java Native Interface wrappers, or (RESTful) web services used to communicate with the non-java component (2) We can only use dependencies in Stanbol that are available in a license compatible to the Apache Software License. Copyleft licenses (LGPL, GPL, ...) might be possible when a (RESTful) web services is used for the integration with Stanbol. AFAIK the frameworks referenced by your mail do not fall into this category so you would need to search for alternatives. IMO the Person recognition based on detected faces would be the most interesting multimedia enhancement engine. Especially if it would allow users to easily train new faces (e.g. by putting images of a person in a folder). For speech recognition there is already STANBOL-1007 and STANBOL-1291 and also some GSoC related discussion on the list. best Rupert On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 9:54 AM, Rohan Jain <rjsa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > I am a 4th Dual Degree(B.tech+M.tech) Computer Science student of IIT > Kharagpur. > I am very much interested to be a part of Apache-Stanbol Development in GSoC > 2014.
