Thank you Nir Krakauer for your inputs. The following is an abstract from my GSoC proposal.
Phase 1 evaluations goal: A set of working Neural Network m-scripts, which, together,
could suggest corrections for typographic errors.
Phase 2 evaluations goal: A development version of Octave which has a command line
suggestion feature (currently there will be no mechanism available to easily select the
corrections suggested and easily enable/disable this feature).
Phase 3 evaluations goal: A development version of Octave with a complete and working
command line suggestion feature, open to feedback and criticisms.
Do I understand correctly that the Phase 3 implementation will have a way to enable/disable the auto-suggest feature? This is very important. Microsoft got burned for introducing an auto-help mechanism called Clippy (it's avatar was a paperclip) which was far, far more annoying than useful, and could not be easily disabled. In 2010 Time magazine named it one of the 50 worst inventions of all time. In other words, make sure users are in charge and can enable/disable this feature as they like.
