   Hi all,   
      
   How have you all been doing ? It's been a while since I wrote here.   
      
   I have done a project in Single Document Extractive Text Summarization   
   recently but I am facing a problem. I do not have the DUC standard   
   documents to test my application. Can anyone point me (or send me) to   
   the right place ? Thanx.   
      
   Ok. Another issue. Since I got involved in AI and liked it very much I   
   want to more research in it (probably it'll also help me get into a   
   good college for my MS/Ph.D ). This time again we are two people and   
   we are trying to decide what area to work on in AI. I would highly   
   appreciate if you help us with our task of deciding the domain. We   
   want to work in NLP/IR. We would want to work in an area that has not   
   been explored much. Please keep in mind that we are just the beginners   
   who would not be able to do 'extremely' complex stuff. Here are some   
   areas we have segregated.   
      
   1. Indexers ( in search engines ).   
   2. Review Systems ( employing opinion mining and give out reviews )   
   3. Semantic web in mobile or any intelligent system for mobiles ( it   
   could be anything - please share if you have some knowledge/ideas ).   
   4. Ontology generation from text ( we have heard a lot about it   
   although we have no idea as to what it is )   
   5. Information Extraction.   
   6. Fact extraction from text   
   7. Tags and folksonomies.   
   8. Proof, trust and provenance for web information Applications.   
   9. Intelligent information retrieval   
   10. Intelligent user interfaces (for Web systems or otherwise)   
   11.  Recognizing web spam   
   12.  Recommendation systems   
   13. Trend spotting   
   14. Web link-analysis & graph mining   
   15. Word Sense Disambiguation.   
   16. Emotion Analysis ( seems very interesting but can anything   
   concrete be done here ? )   
   17. Research in Automated Planning   
   18. Belief Systems   
      
   I know those are a lot of topics but we need suggestions. Your   
   suggestions. Please don't restrict yourself to only the topics   
   mentioned above. If you have some exciting, out of the box ( or   
   'odd' ) topic in mind - kindly share. We are basically looking to do   
   research in some 'not-so-explored' field.   
      
   Thanking in anticipation.   
      
   - Vaibhav
