Hi,
My apologies for not following the mailing list guidelines.
I would like to answer the couple of questions that were raised
in regards to my previous mail.
" I see a statement in the FAQ that reads:
\"We use proprietary natural language processing algorithms to
determine sentiment.\"
So, I would like to know if this is an free open source venture or a
proprietary one. Also, please let us know what has this got to do with
GNU/Linux or Free software. "
Thanks for trawling our website yesterday. We hope you enjoyed it.
Yes, Its true that our NLP algorithms are proprietary, patent-pending,
result of 'n' years of cutting edge research and development, etc, etc.
and Yes, We expect people to pay in return for using our software.
But, the reason of my mail to this group was not to advertise the
technologies
that we work on. Which words in my mail conveyed that information to the
group?
All we wanted was to reach out to students who have strong exposure to
programming and are passionate about FOSS. These students will be
contributing to one
open source project that we are releasing this summer. The best part is that
they can
continue working on the project even when they go back to their colleges,
highly rewarding
jobs, etc, etc. You learn. We learn. Win-win. We use and contribute to few
FOSS tools in
our work, and hence we care about people contributing to open source.
Being inquisitive is part of human nature, but it does become tiresome
hearing/reading
these same questions over and over again. If one is interested in what we
do, just ask.
I would be more than happy to walk you through.
Thanks,
Devjyoti
