I'd be interested to know if this could be turned into a tool that lets you know how well your writing (or coding) matches the "house style". (Mostly for technical documentation, requirements specs etc...) I'd be even more interested if it could be turned into a sublime text plugin that highlights words / phrases that deviate most strongly from the house style.

Good idea. I guess that was my main goal really, learning the structure of some text. The vocabulary generator was a pretty recent add in which is why it is quite in-accurate.

this doesn't look like a neural net to me. from NeuralNetwork.py from sklearn.neighbors import KNeighborsClassifier # Create a sperate neural network for each identifier for index in range(0, len(NaturalLanguageObject._Identifiers)): nn = KNeighborsClassifier() self._Networks.append(nn)

So then it seems like the author of the code doesn't understand that "NN" means "Nearest Neighbors" and not "Neural Network"? He mentions that he used sklearn's Neural Network libraries in his blog post, but sklearn doesn't have any aside from RBM.

I was confused with the difference between an SVM and a neural network. Easy mistake I guess. The whole goal of this project was for educational purposes, so im still happy with the outcome.

This person has no idea what they're talking about. sklearn has no neural network code whatsoever.

EDIT: this feels like a testament to sklearn's greatness, honestly.

Sorry to beat this issue to death, but this is not an easy mistake at all, even given only a cursory understanding of the field.

"Easy mistake I guess"

What the hell.

if you want to learn neural nets check out Karpathy's class (cs231n.github.io) and do the assignments. making a github repo and HN post about using neural networks is false self-advertising and illegitimatizes those of us who know what we are talking about.

OMG, how embarrassing for OP. This is what scares me about technical blogging. Messing up unknowingly in an area I'm not experienced in and getting scathing critiques from my fellow hackers. Keep your chin up OP and next time remember to do your homework. +1 for the effort anyways.
