F: Right .
B: And Andreas and I tried to come up wi or we had come up actually with a eh with him working on an interface for FrameNet , as it was back then , that would p do some of the work for this machine ,
F: Right .
F: Yeah .
B: which uh , never got done because Prashant found a happy occupation
F: W yeah , I know , I mean it it he w he did w what what he did was much more s sensible for him .
B: which in the F: I think uh ,
B: Absolutely . Yeah .
B: But so I 'm just saying , the uh , we had that idea
F: you know F: Yeah .
F: The idea was there . Yeah , OK .
B: uh to to exploit FrameNet there as well .
F: Yeah .
A: Hmm .
B: And um .
F: Yeah , actually you guys never B: And Srini 's doing information extraction also ,
B: right ?
F: Right .
B: with that FrameNet base .
C: Mmm .
F: Yeah .
F: So you you guys never sent anybody else from I U .
B: Mm - hmm .
F: You were y no C: Except except Prashant ?
F: Yeah .
F: Uh , this was supposedly an exchange program ,
C: Um ,
F: and I we you know , it 's fine . We don't care ,
F: but it just I 'm a little surprised that uh , Andreas didn't come up with anyone else he wanted to send .
F: Alright .
C: Uh I don't know , I mean the uh F: I mean I had forgotten a I To be honest with you , I 'd totally forgotten we had a program .
A: Hmm .
B: Uh it 's in the program ?
C: Uh I I think it 's it 's really the lack of students uh , at IU at the moment .
F: Yeah .
F: Yeah .
F: No , no . There was a whole co There was a little contract signed .
F: It was F: Yeah .
C: Yeah , yeah . I think it 's ju it 's more the lack of of students , really ,
C: and w we have all these sponsors that are always sort of eager to get some teams .
F: Yeah , I know .
A: Mmm .
F: Right .
C: But F: Right .
C: Well I mean if if I were a student , I 'd love to come here , rather than work for some German <nonvocalsound> company , or F: Yeah .
F: Right .
B: You are being recorded right now , so beware .
F: Oh , right !
C: Well , I didn't say anybody to anything to offend C: well , except for the sponsors maybe ,
C: but F: Right .
F: Anyway .
F: Right . So I thi tha that 's that 's one of the things that might be worth looking into while you 're here .
C: Mm - hmm .
F: Uh , unfortunately , Srini , who is heavily involved in DAML and all this sort of stuff is himself out of town .
C: Mm - hmm .
C: Well I 'll go to the uh , Semantic Web Workshop , uh , in two weeks .
F: Right ,
F: and F: Yeah , for for some reason he 's not doing that .
A: Yeah .
F: I don't know why he @ @ A: Well , he had other things to do .
F: oh , I , who knows ?
F: Anyway , s yeah , you 'll see you 'll certainly see a lot of the people there .
A: The uh A: The other person I thought of is Dan Gildea ?
A: because he did some work on topic spotting
F: Yeah .
F: St - statistical stuff .
F: That would be a very good idea .
A: w um , which is , I mean , you I mean . I don't Depending on how well you wanna integrate with that end ,
C: Mm - hmm .
A: you know , like , taking the data and fig you said the learning systems that figure out A: We There 's someone in ICSI who actually has been working on has worked on that kinda stuff ,
A: and he 's worked with frame net ,
A: so you could talk to him about , you know , both of those things at once .
C: Mm - hmm . Mm - hmm .
A: So .
A: And he just finished writing a draft of his thesis .
A: So .
C: So , uh , who is that again ?

B: Who ?
B: I can take you to his office .
