Synopsis

Natural Language Processing software is now capable of analysing and detecting sophisticated structures in written texts. Can we use this technology to assess what happens inside a team? The project assumes that a team is required to provide written evidence (in electronic format) bout their activities through summaries. Can these summaries be analysed to detect patterns? What patterns are reasonable to detect? The challenge in this project is to create a software application that is robust enough to detect certain pre-defined patterns and validate it in a real situation.
