Something I'll keep my eye on, for sure. In the meantime:
It feels like you've reinvented much by writing stuff from scratch. spaCy is fast, has tons of features, commonly updated, free, trained on the Common Crawl corpus. Why not just use that? I'm only curious, not critical.
- patelajay285 9y agoThanks! Fair question, we think spaCy is great, but it just made a lot of sense for us to start on the basics so that we could modify things as needed. For example, our tokenization algorithm and syntax dependency tree algorithm treats "let it be" in "The band played let it be by the beatles." as a single chunk to return a more accurate syntax dependency tree, which Google Cloud NL and spaCy don't do out of the box today.
