This is a repo with functions that can score arbitrary free text and numeric predictors. This is licensed under the AGPL, please see LICENSE.txt for details. The goal here is to provide a high-performance, scalable solution that can predict targets from arbitrary values.
Note that this is a library. You will need to implement your own code to make it runnable. The discern repo in the edX github organization is an API wrapper for this code. See http://github.com/edx/discern for more information.
