Work is running a "data science" R&D program across a few universities and an engineering team.

Fun is lots of stuff. I have a question-answering thing which I'm slowly making progress on. I've written various (old) open source text things which still seem to be used. I do Kaggle. I wrote a contextual advertising server for a cycling website I ran (and ended up licensing some of the tech). I have a vague home research project trying to combine unstructured knowledge with structured knowledge graphs. Probably other stuff I've forgotten about.

Thanks! I've been playing with Spacy lately. I've a product idea that requires NLP and I'm unfamiliar with NLP research and techniques. The idea itself is rather complex to implement, so I'd like to have a couple of interesting toy/side projects to hone my skills first. I hadn't thought Kaggle, that could provide a few good projects for understanding NLP tech better.
