even with the examples on the landing page, the regexes generated for the emails are not really usable. it needs way more examples to produce the right thing.

even though I doubt most production code uses the actual, correct, rfc-compliant regex to match emails (it's a monster), this does nothing to improve the situation...
- nextaccountic 4y agoIt really need some zero-shot or few-shot magic from LLMs, or even heuristics to detect common patterns like emails, and just generate a sane regex, rather than stuff like [A-Za-z]{2,}@libertylabs\.ai which will obviously fail with a few more examples.
- hk__2 4y agoIt doesn’t make any sense to use a regex to check emails beside some very basic typos. Why do you need an email? To send messages to the user. Then do that: send a validation message and see if someone gets it.
