Hello Sir, I am Reetesh Ranjan, a 3rd year undergraduate student at the *INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY BHU, Varanasi-*one of the premier engineering colleges of India. I have gone through your webpage thoroughly and I am very interested in the work that you are undertaking on *Project: Weighting Schemes.*. I earnestly wish to work under your guidance, learn and progress through this experience. I have some experience in Language Modeling (github.com/reetesh11/trigram)and would love to continue it with Information Retrieval. But, the problem is , I don't have experience in Information Retrieval, will that make a huge difference.? Kind Regards, Reetesh Ranjan Reetesh Ranjan Junior Undergraduate IIT(BHU), Varanasi contact no: +917275115929 Skype : reetesh.ranjan11 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There are some useful links in the "Resources" section of the project idea. Let us know if anything isn't clear. Cheers, Olly
Hello Olly Sir, Thank you for the kind support. And I went through the reference provided on the Idea page and I found the idea very much interesting and would love to work forward work on the same. Now, how I need to start off ? Because until and unless the bugs are known and the flaws of current implementation, we won't be able to work in correct direction. Hoping to hear soon from you.
