Hi All
Hi everyone,
This is Moein Hosseini and this is my very first and introduction email in dev mailing list.
Let me say my story from a few months ago. I was looking to create a DIY smart mirror for my house, but for being "smart" I really liked it able to understand my voice commands. There were a bunch of libs for Speech2Text, but then I had to do a lot of stuff by myself to create a rule database.
Tonight I've seen nlpcraft randomly and found it interesting. It could be the missing part of the puzzle to build smart devices.
About me, I'm a senior software engineer at Quantcast <https://www.quantcast.com/> (London office) and worked as Data Engineer before for about 3 years. I write code mostly in Scala, Java and Python (Honestly I don't like dynamic typing) and used to work with some big data tools (Spark, Hadoop, Flink, Kafka, Cassandra).
My MS thesis was around "forecasting elections using twitter". From the technical point, I tried to extract sentiment and aspect of sentiment from short text to cluster the opinions. I was a fan of Bing Liu <https://www.cs.uic.edu/~liub/> works those years. But now my knowledge is outdated around NLP.
I will be happy to join the community and spend a few hours each week on nlpcraft. My username is moein7tl in Jira.
Kind Regards,Moein

Hi Moein,
Welcome to the community!
Just another thought as you are looking around: we are actively looking for
presenters at the local meetups & conferences (all this is online for now
given COVID-19 situation). If necessary, we can help with presentation
materials & submissions. Let us know if you are up for public speaking.
Thanks & happy to have you on board!

Hi Moein,
On behalf of the NLPCraft dev community - welcome to the project!
Being a relatively young project (still incubating) we don't have a
dedicated set of JIRA issues for new members, so you are free to roam
around and pick any areas you are interested in. One particular topic that
would be beneficial for the adoption of NLPCraft is more examples, more
interesting, non-trivial examples, especially written in other JVM-based
languages like Kotlin, Groovy, etc. Another area that is lacking right now
is native clients for the REST API. We currently have a native client for
Java but lacking any native support for Javascript/Node.js, PHP, Python,
C/C++, and .NET.
So, look around and pick the area that is most interesting to you.
Best,
