Yes, that's the idea. > Yes, that could be interesting. But, if it was the case that the project > would be for just segmentation, then ideally it would be tested on more > than one language. Ideally, yes. In practice... maybe. Language-independent segmentation is not the most well-trodden path, and anything that I have seen that claims language-independence was only tested on a single language. The method used in the project I pointed to is one of the few that claims language independence, but that implementation might have some (I can't tell for sure, as the comments are in Chinese, but it doesn't look like it). I would require language independence as a project goal, but wouldn't make it a hard requirement before midterms - more of an 'avoid the obvious' guideline. As for actually testing how independent it is... I don't know how that's going to work out. There are plenty of resources for Chinese, and drastically fewer for everything else. -- <Sefam> Are any of the mentors around? <jimregan> yes, they're the ones trolling you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
