Hi Linas, Thank you. Can you point me to documentation for 'how the backward-forward things' work. I have made python bindings for some some libraries, but it was never two way. I am still reading the opencog docs, my mental model is that most of the communication is happening through atomspace. right?
To add more context, I come from deep learning background so I know python, but I want to work on symbolic natural language processing. I am learning lisp for the same reason. I have been working with python for 4 years now but it seems unnatural for symbolic NLP. Is there a way to pickup some task and apply opencog framework for that? more concretely sentiment analysis and question answering.
