Notes

Update on new parser

• Lots of progress on new parser
• Parser demo hasn't changed much, but code has been moved to ubiquity repo
• Merging into ubiquity is progressing well
• Suggestions now work for "translate" verb (due to verb api changes)

Call for more language files for parser

• See video demo
• Really simple, need volunteer contributors

Call for feedback

• See blog posts - inventory of semantic roles and suggestion scoring algorithm
• Semantic roles
• Scoring algorithm (more technical)

Round-table

• This summer - starting to hook up server-side stuff, contextual noun-type mapping, future proofing, etc
• Noun-type mapping
  • Use dynamic programming?
  • Use async techniques, eg worker threads?
