That […]

Lightning talk at PyDataLondon for Annotate

At this week’s PyDataLondon I did a 5 minute lightning talk on the Annotate text-cleaning service for data scientists that I made live recently. It was good to have a couple of chats after with others who are similarly bored of cleaning their text data. The goal is to make it quick and easy to […]
