ecce = "behold" (Latin)
Deuteronomy 5:24 (ESV)
And you said, ‘Behold, the Lord our God has shown us his glory and greatness, and owe have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire. This day we have seen God speak with man, and man still live.
For thousands of years, people have studied the Bible from countless perspectives with diverse approaches towards various goals. As a Christian myself, I have read, discussed, and learned from it both in personal study and through others. With the plethora of related documents in the form of commentaries, topical indexes, dictionaries, and cross-references, the Bible has been scoured from cover to cover throughout the ages.
The application of this project is two-fold. The first objective is to create a visual exploration of the topics from the Bible. If time permits, this would be accomplished using an interactive website that gives users a way to see related passages that were only previously linked in a manual fashion. Second, the trained recurrent neural network will be used to predicting both related topics and Scripture references from arbitrary text (similar in form to Bible verses).
