learning_text_transformer_demo

Demo code for http://annotate.io/ which is a "self-learning text transformer".

This project learns a mapping from "data you have" to "data you want" from a set of examples you provide, you can then send in new data that gets cleaned according to the rules that were learned.

Status: prototype (the example works and you can post your own simple examples)

Getting started

You need Python 2.7 or 3.4 along with the requests module. You can install requests using:

$ pip install requests

To run the demo:

$ python annotateio_demo.py
<it'll explain all of its steps>

This demo is self-contained, it needs a connection to the internet, it posts the examples that are contained in the file, no other data (nothing from your machine) is sent.
