Actually I was just (almost certainly) hired at NIH to work on their
upcoming ai project - they want to write a program that reads
technical reports, figures out keywords, and indexes the reports
accordingly. This is not just word-counting, since they've hired a
linguist. They also are buying 2 VAXen, I think, and a LISP machine or
two, and a kurtz-weiler reading machine, etc. How reasonable is this?
I'm wondering if this is a really major project (it's bound to take
YEARS) or if someone doesn't know what he/she is getting into. I don't
know much about natural language processing; what has been done in the
field? Anyone out there from NIH know anything more about this
project?
