Natural Language Understanding in Chandler

Skills: some AI background

When a user receives or creates an item with a string like, "Party at Becket's from 5 till 9 next Thursday", we'd like Chandler to be able to infer the location, start and end times, and start date if that item is ever stamped as a calendar event. The goal for this project is to create examples of text (corpora) to be processed and writing code to parse these examples using the Natural Language Toolkit or MontyLingua. There should be very little UI work needed. The language focused on need not be English.
