My good mood of this morning is due very much to NLTK, a #Python library for Natural Language Processing. Lexing, stemming, Levenshtein distance — a treasure trove of clever algorithms and datasets.

Today specifically I was trying out an idea to make my grocery classifier more resilient to spelling variants, and I wondered if you could easily break an English word into syllables… And of course you can: https://www.nltk.org/api/nltk.tokenize.SyllableTokenizer.html

Amazing!
