Meeting Notes
11th July 2012:
Sam, Ben, Henry, Marcin, Tom, Geoff, Peter, Jeremy, Sugam, Sonal
... general apologies
could get forum data from coursera for analysis
Ben talked about his initial efforts to create a world model. The initial focus is to make something for generating text adventure games (similar to those demoed by Sam). At the moment Ben's system is written in Python and is very Object inheritance heavy. He is looking for help to make it more scalable and/or add some sort of persistence. Suggestions included:
- Python pickling
- Some sort of graph database (neo4j, mongoDB)
- Peter - RDF Ascii
- opendirectory project from google
- freebase [Update: Ben has added a simplified version of his efforts in the world_model folder. Anyone fancy helping him out?]

Sam, Ben, Geoff, Jeremy, Marcin and occasionally Henry
Geoff suggested creating a wiki, and we talked about making the faq bot record who was taking which course, and having that data accessible via natural language interface and via a browsable web view
