Summer 2018 Update

It's been a hectic Spring semester (and one that has not felt like spring at all) but we are all finished up with spring classes at Loyola. That means a round of updates to the blog (you're reading it), the main page, and the launch of the SOTU-db web app prototype at prototype.sotu-db.com. There is a very high chance that address for the prototype will not function, but you are welcome to try! There is also a prototype HTML interface in the works at https://tymonaghan.github.io/sotu-db/new-site/index.html. Stay tuned for another, more thorough update from the spring, including:

• working with NLTK
• getting the prototype developed with some thoughts on prototyping software tools
• updates on the planned features for SOTU-db

Plans for the summer months include:

• continuing to develop the prototype for SOTU-db web app
• find a more stable digital host/home for the project
• re-visit and adjustment of project objectives and timeline

Even though things are changing and in many cases behind schedule, I'm really excited about the direction of this project; I'm hopeful we can even get the thing up and running in time for the next real-world State of the Union address in 2019!
