Hi, I came across opencog through a google search on "open source ai projects that I can contribute". After going through your website, I now have developed a keen interest in volunteering to work for you. But the only thing stopping me is that being a second year masters student in a University in India, I am required to pursue an internship in an external organisation for a period of four months starting from now.All of my fellow batch matches are now interns in various startups in India, where they will mostly be calling tensorflow, pytorch libraries to do the already done things. I did not find them interesting at all. In contrast, the work which you guys are doing seems so original and cutting edge. I greatly wish to contribute to your work, but the institute I study has a rule that the in the organisation where I will be interning, somebody should be supervising. They have also laid down many other requirements and tasks for this supervisor, most of which will not be followed by anyone. In essence, they just need a name from me. Name of a person who is associated with this external org.
I am not making any claims on being an expert in anything. I am nothing but a beginner in AI. I have until now, coded up some Machine learning and Deep learning Applications and has now lined my bookshelf with about ten newly bought books which I will be going through in the coming weeks to get a through understanding of the theory behind the code. I don't have many achievements to list out and did not have my education from the top ten colleges in India.Therefore I will try to sell myself by declaring that I am possibly suffering from Obsessive Disorder. While this is having a bad effect on my life, it does have its merits such as allowing me to say with certainty that once I start getting obsessed about making a contribution to opencog, I will be contributing like hell. So, is there any way you can save me from this internship torture, my institute is inflicting upon me now?
