Project Ideas Improve Scan Summarization and Deduction

Improve ScanCode scan summarization and deduction

The goal of this project is to take existing scan results and infer summaries and perform some deduction of license and origin at a higher level, such as the licensing or origin of a whole directory tree. The ultimate goal is to automate the conclusion of a license and origin based on scans. This could include using statistics and machine learning techniques such as classifiers where relevant and efficient.

This should be implemented as a set of ScanCode plugins and further the summarycode module plugins.
