It’s Tuesday night in Bloomington! Time for some relaxing hacking on NLTK…
Alex:
– Making NLTK’s interface to MaltParser a little more usable
– MaltParser is rad. Been reading about dependency parsing algorithms, and how to use this one in practice…
– Also, NLTK trunk wasn’t even loading today. Yeep! (Fixed!)
Lindsey:
– asleep in Mountain View after a busy day at Mozilla. What with the FF4 release and all.
– also: got code in the Rust compiler today.
– rustlang.org
Meeting without Kelly tonight — and hoping he gets over the evil flu soon.
Attendees: Marilyn, Michael, Virendra.
Talked about another venue for next week (George’s Low Country, Walker’s, Hendershot’s?) to avoid downtown hustle/bustle. Michael and Virendra are currently talking about three-dimensional database results and other cubic PhD topics. Marilyn’s “almost” done with some long-winded perl scripting for blogging: http://mmmarilyn.net/post/ Marilyn recommended the HackNY summer program to Michael — he applied and Marilyn also wrote a quick rec for him to one of the organizers.
