NLP3o

NLP3o is a set of tools for Natural Language Processing, and a web app for educational purpose.

The goal is to understand how the main NLP algorithms work. No efficiency nor speed.

The name NLP3o is a word game between NLP and the protocol robot C3PO.

Run the app

To start the app you just run this script.
On OS X, Linux and Cygwin you have to indicate that this is an executable file before you can run it:

$ chmod a+x run.py

Then the script can simply be executed as follows:

./run.py

On Windows you have to run the script as an argument to the Python interpreter from the virtual environment, e.g.

$ flask\Scripts\python run.py

After the server initializes it will listen on port 5000 waiting for connections.
