Thank you for taking time to explain your interest and, an impressive
list of contributions. These are, as you are surely seeing, early days
for the GSoC and, we are currently looking at assessing how
self-driven our applicants are in figuring out how to approach the
problems listed out. The list has had a few interactions on the Speech
Recognition problem, I expect some of the students to be able to come
up with a proposal that makes provides a reasonable chance in solving
this.
