Hello, I'm Gautham Shankar from India pursuing my 4th year bachelors in computer science and engineering.I find the project proposal "Lucene Automatic Query Expansion from Wikipedia Text" in GSOC 2012 very interesting and would love to work on it.
i have created a proposal for the idea https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Gautham_shankar/Gsoc I have experience in data mining and have built a recommendation framework using the heat diffusion principle which has been tested on the AOL search dataset to recommend better queries that can be typed for a given input query.It has been implemented in java. Since it is a framework it can be used to recommend different types of data. for example the same framework can be used to recommend movies as well as music.Im currently working on an extension of this project to add social network graphs so as to recommend people who have the same interests in movie, music etc when a query is typed. I have also built a web based product "hive" which is a networking platform for members of the power generation industry. The users can share their experiences and it is a open forum where members interact with one another to effectively run their machines and solve common problems. The product has been implemented using PHP, mysql, javascript (inc ajax). Lucene is the search engine and phpbb is used for forums. <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Gautham_shankar/Gsoc> it would be very helpful if anyone could give a feedback and guide me in improving the proposal. Eagerly awaiting a response.
