[OSM-dev] GSOC 2013 Idea

[pariskshit dutt]

Hi,

i wanted to discuss a new idea for GSOC 2013.

we can introduce a new feature in the OSM, a sentiment view. there are
diaries of people in an area, we can use senti-wordnet (
http://sentiwordnet.isti.cnr.it ) and use a classifier like support vector
machine to further refine it and then divide the diaries into 10 different
categories ranging from vary sad to very happy the category having the most
diaries will be considered the mood of the area and we can have an overlay
on the map of 10 different colours 1 for each category this way we can give
an approximate mood of the area

secondly by parsing the diaries and getting local news of that area using
google news we can also find out the popular things and events in an area
this might as well help in finding out any speciality of that area or
anything special happening like when there is the fest in rio many diaries
and news will be regarding to that and we can track popular things and
events. we can also have a text search in diaries so that people can track
the popularity of businesses or their products.

thanks,
Pariskshit Dutt
