The New Freedom

Jump to Comments

I wasn’t planning on applying for the Google Summer of Code this year, but the stars aligned and I got shafted on the internship I thought I was going to have, I found a GSoC project I actually liked, and Google pushed the deadline back, so I have nothing to lose and plenty to gain by giving it a shot.

I’ve written a proposal to create a ‘RelEx Web Crawler’, which will scour a given section of the web and process it into a format which is machine readable so it can be used by artificial intelligence agents. For more information, see the linked wiki entry on OpenCog.

The project will be mentored by the Singularity Institute, which is basically the coolest thing going on in applied computer/cog science right now. I feel like my app is a total long shot, but it’s wayyy too tempting to pass up on.

Would love any feedback about this, friends..

Rich!
