Greetings all, My name is Alexandros Agrafiotis, and I am a third-year student majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Thessaly <https://www.e-ce.uth.gr/?lang=en>. I am sending this email to express my interest in the project "*Greeklish-to-Greek: Development of an open-source and state-of-the-art toolkit*". I believe that my genuine interest for the project, coupled with my developing skills in the related fields of NLP and Deep Learning, as well as my excitement and motivation to further grow as a researcher and engineer, would make me a great candidate for this project I am currently taking elective courses on *Deep Learning *and *Natural Language Processing*, where we discuss the fundamental theory behind NLP and tackle problems using the *PyTorch* framework. This experience has sparked my interest in further pursuing those academic fields. Also, I am currently working as an intern engineer for the networking laboratory of my department, called NITLab <https://nitlab.inf.uth.gr/> , in order to acquire experience in the general field of software engineering (you can find my resume attached to this email). Furthemore, I hold a strong interest in *linguistics* and the study of language and literature. I am an award-winning writer, with my greatest achievement being an Award of Excellence given by the Hellenic Parliament for a short story titled "The Phoenix". In order to prepare a meaningful proposal, I would need some further information: - In the proposed idea page, it is mentioned that "*Our team has researched and developed state-of-the-art Greeklish-to-Greek methods utilizing Transformer NLP models*", but I cannot seem to find any relevant information about this. Is there a paper or any research material that you could provide? - It is also mentioned that this project can be integrated within a larger NLP toolkit. Is that strongly preferred by the mentors, and if so, should that be considered when writing the proposal? Regards, Alexandros Agrafiotis
