Aakarsh Agarwal commented on OPENNLP-757:
-----------------------------------------

Hello,
I am Aakarsh Agarwal, currently pursuing B.Tech from IIT Roorkee in India. I 
hope to participate in GSoC this year and want to contribute to this project. 
This project seems interesting to me because I feel comfortable in coding in 
JAVA, though I also know C++.

The project seems very interesting as it mainly deals with machine learning and 
related algorithms. It would be a fun to code such algorithms. I am also going 
through wiki pages of some of these algorithms such as "Decision Trees" and 
"Naive Bayes". I just have one doubt if I will be required to code these 
algorithms from scratch in JAVA or use some existing code and work upon it.

I would like to hear from mentor how to get started and the probable challenges 
that needs to be fulfilled concerning this project. I am eagerly waiting for a 
positive reply very soon.
Regards
AAKARSH AGARWAL

> The objective of Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) is to determine which sense 
> of a word is meant in a particular context. Therefore, WSD is a 
> classification task, where the classes are the different senses of the 
> ambiguous word.
> Different techniques are proposed in the academic literature, which fall 
> mainly into two categories: Supervised and Unsupervised.
> For this component, we focus on supervised techniques: these approaches use 
> machine-learning techniques to learn a classifier from labeled training sets.
> The object of this project is to create a WSD solution (for English) that 
> implements some supervised techniques. For example:
> - Decision Lists
> - Decision Trees
> - Naive Bayes
> - Neural Networks
> - Exemplar-Based or Instance-Based Learning
> - Support Vector Machines
> - Ensemble Methods
> - Semi-supervised Disambiguation
> - Etc.
