>The research will be part of the Navigation Project described on our
>web site (URL: http://www.eas.asu.edu/~gcss/ ). The project is
>sponsored by the National Science Foundation, and involves devising a
>markup language and query or information retrieval tools for on-line
>maritime information. More information about the project is available
>at the project link above.  The general areas of work for the
>undergraduates are:
>
>  - Graph and clustering methods.
>  - Natural language processing, question answering & information
>    retrieval.
>
>Specific tasks will be set after discussion with the students. Further
>information is available at the project web site mentioned above and
>from Dr. Malyankar (drop by his office - Goldwater #349 - to inquire).
