Hi,

I'm not familiar enough with the pattern matcher yet to suggest a Scheme API. I do believe I know however the next steps to clean it up. So I'll look into that first, create a github issue, then look into the API design.

In fact for the API, it would be good if we can have a group chat, involving people who will use it in the future. Like having some concrete usage examples would help me to know how the API should be.

Personally, I do would like to see an API that facilitates interaction with the URE. I don't really have concrete examples, just an idea.

Hi,

I am still a bit busy with my baby - my parents just left back to China.
If Nil gives some examples on how the Scheme API should be like, I will
have a look at it and evaluate how much work it will be and if I have
time to do it.

Thanks,
Shujing

    Nil,

    We have about 8 billion different uses for the Pattern Miner on the
    immediate horizon....

    I know you reviewed the code last year and had some thoughts about
    what needs to be done to improve its ease of usability for various
    applications....

    Hedra has looked at the code too and run it on some example NLP-parse
    outputs; she will be available to spend some time on this and is a
    good C++ programmer....   For instance she could spend time starting
    March (and maybe sometime before that) on making Scheme bindings for
    the pattern miner...

    Shujing might also be available to help on a part-time basis soon,
    though I'm not clear on that...

    Nil, it would be good if you could take a few days and

    1) make a list of what you think should be done to improve pattern
    miner usability

    2) maybe make a first sketch of what you think a Scheme API for the
    pattern miner should look like

    This would provide valuable guidance for Hedra and/or Shujing to
    work on this...

    thanks
    Ben
