I have finished my independent study course titled Exploring the Exocortex.
I enjoyed it immensely and learned a lot while doing it, only some of which I was able to condense into the paper below.
Some thanks:
- Dan Grover — for mentioning MontyLingua to me and speeding up the development process many-fold
- Hugo Lin — for MontyLingua
- Steven Bird, Edward Loper, and Ewan Klein — for NLTK
- James Allen — for providing the impetus to choose VerbNet over FrameNet thus saving me many headaches.
- Timothy Hickey — for advising the course and allowing such non-standard research to take place
The paper:
“Exploring the Exocortex: An Approach to Optimizing Human Productivity” by Michael KatsevmanPDF
I will publish the code soon as I finish cleaning it up and packaging.
