GSOC 2014

[Shrey Sharma]

Dear Pankaj and Ajeet,

          

My name is Shrey, a final year masters student at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur.I’m currently pursuing a 5 Year Dual Degree Course (B.Tech + M.Tech Hons.) from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.I have worked extensively in the field of Knowledge graph.

My ongoing masters project deals with the creation of Knowledge graph from crowdsourced knowledge bases like Wikipedia and Freebase.This project was also awarded $1000 student research grant from Yahoo! Inc.We have recently submitted a paper in KDD 2014 titled "An Entity Similarity Measure for Heterogeneous Knowledge Graph with Categories". Last summer on my internship with Yahoo! Research Labs Bangalore, I have also worked on news recommendation based on twitter, where I made extensive use of wikipedia entity extraction and using Yago, Freebase and wikipedia abstract of the entity to model the interest of the user.As a side result I was able to provide the ranked list of wiki-categories  with scores (which is currently missing in wiki-categories).It has quite interesting results.

I find the project titled Analyze Wikipedia using Cassovary very interesting. I have already done similar work and I am quite familiar with wikipedia structure.I can even merge most of the parts from my ongoing masters project in GSOC 14 as most of it aligns very well with this project.I have already implemented several algorithms to find the similarity between entities.( like Cauchy Swartz divergence, maximal matching algorithms to find the relations between entity pairs etc)

Moreover, I have already constructed a Entity Relation graph (where entities are the nodes and the edges have the relation defined in terms of the wikipedia categories).In the KDD paper I mentioned above I have also constructed a Category Relation graph( where the categories are nodes and the edge relations are again defined in terms of categories). I am also familiarising myself with Cassovary at the moment. 

Please let me know on how to proceed.

Sincerely,

Shrey Sharma

That's good to hear, Shrey. Yes, it is an interesting project :)
