Thanks for the quick reaction :)

Your definition of AI is maybe = a bit narrow. I think all your suggestion are valid. Also the internship fa= lls into the "free" part of my program, so more is possible. Afte= r the meeting with my tutor I will contact you again and I think things wil= l be more concrete by then.

Well, that's certainly a request we haven't gotten very often= ! :)

We've certainly got a lot of work that needs doing around here, but
none of it is AI related really.

The closest I can think of is working on the PEG grammar formalism,
and that's not very close.

Other large-scale projects we have been looking at:

- I'd love to see someone put some real time into Lojban
=A0speech-to-text; I suspect the morphological regularities would
=A0help, but no-one has the expertise around here to be sure

- The next version of our dictionary software; we've had a lot of
=A0high-level design ideas, but that's it, and it's a lot of work<= br>
- Least relevant, but what's taking up my time these days: getting
=A0the next version of the CLL ready to go

There's probably others.

Which isn't to say you couldn't do something AI-related for us, jus= t
that we don't have anything in mind in that regard.

You may want to contact Ben Goertzel, as well, who was working on
that sort of thing more seriously.
