Thanks Dave for the email. Hello Everyone,
I am happy to be on board and be part of this community/project developers. A quick Intro: I am a Masters' student at Univ of Southern California(USC), Los Angeles. I am a member of Information retrieval and data science group at USC and an intern at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena. I am so honored to be working with Dr. Chris Mattmann for the last 1 year, he had introduced Tika to me in a class at USC. What am I using Tika for? The main application is in DARPA memex. We deal with a variety of multimedia types. We analyze data for digital forensics. In case you didn't previously see my name in mailing lists/code commits, here are my top 3 pull requests: 1. [TIKA-1787] Named Entity Recognition Parser - find names from text streams 2. [TIKA-1993] Object recognition Parser - tensorflow's ImageNet model for image recognition 3. [TIKA-1508, TIKA-1986] Uniformity to parser parameter configuration P.S. I will be at Apache Big Data EU 2016 in Spain next week, I will be happy to meet if anyone coming there.
