Demo HN: Using NLP to process Twitter feeds. Released beta site, need feedback
- cjus 16y agoThe site is largely an experiment. If useful I'll make sure it stays up. I'm mainly interested in using Natural Language Processing techniques to determine relevant content in order to filter through social streams. As a heavy twitter user and developer, I'm scratching my own itch.
- azeemazhar2 16y agoHey congrats on doing this. NLP on tweets is not trivial at all given just how colloquial it is. I like being able to navigate a visual map of what people are talking about.
- cjus 16y agoThanks. I've had to develop custom corpora for handling misspellings, netslang, SMS slang etc... even with this very early demo I have ideas which I haven't implemented. The next releases should do a considerably better job.
- Nogwater 16y agoWhy do you need write access to my account?
- cjus 16y agoWrite access is needed because of a feature where you can post replies, favorite, or new posts. This feature isn't turned on in the beta but is planned for future releases. I should have figured this might concern some people starting off. No ill intent is intended. Thanks for the feedback, I will need to turn this off prior to a second release.
- kgeisshirt 16y agoCool service - but with one little bug: it seems that you cannot handle non-US letters like æøåÆØÅ.
