I have one for you. It's something I thought of long ago and have an interest in but no immediate plans to work on. Develop a program that can answer based on plain English. The obvious value would be to apply it to search engines (huge money). People already type questions into Google because they don't know any better. Maybe they should be able to do this. Example: "What is the best restaurant in New York?" The challenge for the software is understanding all the words starting with 'what' because if it was 'where' it changes the answer. Notice also that this answer would be subjective, so that has to be dealt with. Yet another problem is the ambiguity of 'New York' because the questioner probably meant 'New York City' etc. As you can see it's a huge challenge, but one which has obvious financial reward if solved. I'm currently working on a project with some search aspects but it doesn't deal with this particular problem head on. If you have an interest we might do something together. The answer to "Where are my car keys?" should be either "I don't know" or "Have you checked in the car?".
