NLP & Constraint Programming

Debusmann, Ralph
Hi,

I am still a Flink newbie who'd like to contribute.

There are two topics which I am most interested in:

1)      Deep NLP (Syntactic/Semantic analysis)

2)      Constraint Programming

For both, I see no built-in support in Flink yet. Or is there (planned maybe)?

Cheers,
Ralph

I can't say for the second, but Deep NLP is an extremely specific niche and
it's out of scope for Flink to support such a functionality. Deep Learning
is not supported at all anyway. FlinkML, the machine learning library of
Flink, as many other ML libraries on distributed environments are focused
on workhorse algorithms to offer out of the box support for the most common
algorithms used in an enterprise environment. It is debatable if DL is
among them, but anyway there's no GPU support in Flink and before that, it
would be really complex to do DL on Flink. It would be a sub-optimal
solution compared to dedicated frameworks because Flink is not designed for
that.
