I had a
seminar and a
meeting for the
research project I'm working on. So far it's real cool. Transcoding between various
document formats and our own
XML DTD for the purpose of better
visually-impaired access on all
sorts of things, such as
overly-laid-out
webpages like
Everything, and
mathematical
equations.
Think about it: how is a speaking math browser supposed to say something? There are a good half dozen interpretations of the sentence "a plus b over c plus d." However, if you had it structurally parse it out into a tree and then say, for example, "a plus fraction b over c plus d end-fraction," things are immediately much more clear.
So that's what I'm doing as a research assistant. I love being back in academia, though it helps that at NMSU the various professors treat students very well and not as just some stupid mindless automoton who is unable to think for itself.
