• Posted Perl and AI to davehodg

  Following a brain fart, I've had a dig around for AI related stuff in perl. I haven't found much currently active, except an interface library for an Apache project (which looks good). I've found very little in the sentiment analysis sphere. This is what I've found so far:

  Wait? You think that the point of these challenges is to make people feel they "are not smart enough"?
