+## Discussion:
+- Improvements on semantic search (somehow)
+- test nomos
+Discussed several interesting ideas including license compatibility and obligations and so on
+
+
+### Evaluation of Semantic Search on Nomos Test Dataset  
+
+- **Dataset Overview:**  
+  The Nomos test dataset consists of 2054 rows, but I evaluated the algorithm using only 1000 rows to gather initial results.  
+
+- **Initial Results:**  
+  1. **Accuracy:** 65.1%  
+  2. **Coverage:** 58.2%  
+
+  **Challenges:**  
+  - My parser isn't perfect, and there are cases where the algorithm matches minor variations of licenses (e.g., AFL-1.2 instead of AFL-1.1), which is counted as incorrect.  
+  - The real accuracy is likely higher, in the range of 70-75%, considering these minor variations.  
+
+- **Next Steps:**  
+  1. Refine the parser to better handle license versions and variations.  
+  2. Reevaluate accuracy with a more comprehensive dataset to improve these metrics.  
+
+### Work on License Obligations  
+
+- **Introduction to License Obligations:**  
+  License obligations refer to the specific legal requirements imposed by open-source licenses to ensure compliance. I began working on this aspect to explore its potential in the project.  
+
+  **Key Concepts:**  
+  OSADL (Open Source Automation Development Lab) has developed the "Open Source License Obligations Checklists" project, which helps organizations comply with open-source licenses by:  
+  1. **Encoding Obligations:** Defining what actions are required or prohibited by different licenses.  
+  2. **Creating Checklists:** Structured lists of obligations for various licenses.  
+  3. **Evaluating Compatibility:** Assessing how different licenses interact and whether they can be used together.  
+
+- **Progress:**  
+  I started by using OSADL’s checklist as a framework for obligations. Here’s a [link](https://osadl.org/Access-to-raw-data.oss-compliance-raw-data-access.0.html) to OSADL's obligations for various licenses.  
+
+  **Example Obligation for the Academic Free License v2.0 (AFL-2.0):**  
+  ```
+  USE CASE Source code delivery OR Binary delivery  
+  YOU MUST Reference License text  
+  YOU MUST Search License acceptance  
+      ATTRIBUTE Reasonable  
+  IF Software modification  
+      YOU MUST Forward Copyright notices  
+      YOU MUST Forward Patent notice  
+      YOU MUST Forward Trademark notice  
+      YOU MUST Forward License notice  
+      YOU MUST Provide Modification notice  
+      YOU MUST NOT Promote  
+      IF Modified work Under Original license  
+          EITHER  
+              YOU MUST Include Source code Of Modified work  
+                  ATTRIBUTE Machine-readable  
+          OR  
+              YOU MUST Provide Delayed source code delivery Of Modified work  
+                  ATTRIBUTE Machine-readable  
+                  ATTRIBUTE Via Internet  
+                  ATTRIBUTE No profit  
+                  ATTRIBUTE Duration As long as distributed  
+              YOU MUST Reference Source code  
+                  ATTRIBUTE Below Copyright notices  
+  PATENT HINTS Yes  
+  ```
+### Experimenting with License Obligation Conversion via LLM  
+
+- **Objective:**  
+I attempted to evaluate whether an LLM could generate license obligations similar to OSADL’s checklist through prompt engineering.  
+
+- **Initial Results:**  
+Using prompt engineering, I tested multiple LLMs to generate obligations directly from license texts. However, the results were inconsistent due to:  
+1. **Ambiguity in Interpretation:** OSADL's obligations are highly detailed and rely on specific legal interpretations. These are difficult for an LLM to replicate without detailed context.  
+2. **LLM Limitations:** While the LLM could generate obligations, they were not structured or detailed enough to meet the OSADL standard.  
+
+
+- **Challenges and Next Steps:**  
+1. The LLM produced obligations, but the results did not meet the precision required, mainly due to different interpretations.  
+2. Moving forward, I plan to refine the prompt further and explore additional ways to guide the LLM towards creating obligations more aligned with legal standards.  
+
+## Conclusions and Next Steps  
+
+- **Further Work on Obligations:**  
+I will continue working on converting licenses into obligations, refining the prompt-engineering process and exploring different approaches to improve the LLM’s performance.  
+
+- **Other Tasks:**  
+1. Begin acknowledging licenses from notice files, extending the current capability of license identification.  
+2. Continue refining the parser and matching algorithm to better handle edge cases and improve overall accuracy and speed.  
+
+## Additional Discussions and Potential Advancements
+
+In this meeting, several potential directions forward were discussed regarding obligations and other interesting license-related applications:
+
+1. **Validate Obligation Rule Against License Text**:
+    * Provide an obligation rule (e.g., "YOU MUST Provide Modification report") to the LLM.
+    * Ask the LLM to check if this rule exists within the license text and provide an explanation.
+
+2. **Potential Advancements**
+
+   1. **Create Human-Readable Obligations from Machine-Readable Obligations**:
+       * Convert OSADL's structured, machine-readable obligations into a more user-friendly format.
+
+   2. **Check License Compatibility Using Obligations or License Text**:
+       * Explore using obligations or the raw license text to determine if different licenses are compatible with each other.
+
+   3. **Convert License Text to Obligations Using LLM**:
+       * Continue refining the prompt engineering process to improve the LLM's ability to generate obligations directly from license text.
+
+    These potential advancements offer various avenues for further exploration and development within the project.
