This repository is a curated collection of Ruby libraries, tools, and software for Natural Language Processing (NLP). It serves as a comprehensive resource for Ruby developers looking to implement NLP tasks, from basic text processing to advanced machine learning and translation.

How It Works

The project organizes a vast array of Ruby gems and tools into logical categories, covering areas like language detection, machine translation, sentiment analysis, and text summarization. It provides links to specific libraries, often with brief descriptions of their functionality and purpose, enabling users to quickly find relevant solutions for their NLP needs within the Ruby ecosystem.

Quick Start & Requirements

This repository is a collection of links, not a runnable application. To use any of the listed libraries, users must consult the individual gem's documentation for installation and usage instructions.

Highlighted Details

• Extensive categorization of NLP tasks, from APIs and chatbots to machine learning and text extraction.
• Includes links to libraries for various messaging platforms (Slack, Telegram, Facebook Messenger) and voice assistants (Alexa).
• Features resources for lexical databases, ontologies, and machine translation.
• Covers fundamental NLP tasks like tokenization, stemming, part-of-speech tagging, and sentence segmentation.

Maintenance & Community

This is a community-driven resource. Suggestions and contributions are welcome, indicating an active effort to maintain and expand the collection. Specific contributor or community links are not provided in the README.

Licensing & Compatibility

The licensing of individual libraries varies. Users must check the license of each gem they intend to use. Compatibility for commercial use or closed-source linking depends entirely on the licenses of the specific libraries chosen.

Limitations & Caveats

As a curated list, this repository does not provide direct functionality. Users are responsible for evaluating and integrating the individual libraries, which may have their own dependencies, limitations, and maintenance statuses.
