Clear, useful write-up and resource for learning text classification
From 3 comments
This is really cool. I've been working on a search engine for lectures, and I recently set it up so you can filter conference talks by the programming language.…
garysieling on HNThis is a really great resource. Thank you. I'm just getting started with experimenting in this topic, and it's great to see something that isn't about classifying flower petals…
Spooky23 on HNAgree, nice article! Afraid other than your posts making it to front page, I don't see how to keep checking: -- can't find an RSS feed for your blog -- ioloop.io has a blank…

Objections
No classifier accuracy or precision results reported, only 15 test cases
From 1 comment
Wait, you had 15 test cases, and didn't even say how the classifier did? I guess I could run the code myself, and that's nice you provided it on Github, but still, I feel like…

Well sure it's possible, I've done writeups on text classification with Scikit-Learn as well here:…

This is a great post, and overlaps somewhat with a project I'm working on (scraping and classifying large amounts of text). I know it's not the focus of the post, but was there…

Questions
What is the use case for the caching proxy?
From 2 comments
I'm still confused about the use case. Is the purpose of a cache like this to create a unified interface to accessing and storing web pages? So you can write code to scrape pages…
maksimum on HNIt's possible that the proxy caches duplicate requests, e.g. if you're crawling articles linked on reddit.

How does the proxy compare with scrapy httpcache middleware?

Alternatives named
H2O.ai, which exports classifiers as Java code
From 1 comment
Looks very interesting, have you looked at H2O.ai which spits out a classifiers as Java code which can be wrapped in an ultra low latency API without caching.
