October 23 2013 Meeting

We discussed the three major user groups.

1. NLP Researchers - customize feature generation, argument identification, noise reduction, etc.
2. Power Users - use custom knowledge bases and relations
3. Novice User - uses out of the box system

The better the system is for the Novice user the more successful this project will be.

Some Important Requirements we discussed:

1. NEL-capability for Argument Identification
2. Negative Examples
3. Noise Reduction Component

Milestones/Goals

1. Generate Distant Supervision data for NYT corpus with preprocessed corpus. (10/29)
2. Run Preprocessing code on new textual data (1/1)
3. Provide Interface for NEL with external KB in Argument Identification (11/6)
4. Run Original Multir Algorithm with new interface (11/6)
5. Add noise-reduction, negative examples components (11/13)
6. Extend Preprocessing interface to allow for custom preprocessing schemes (11/13)
7. Establish working web-demo (11/20)
