@quinnanya @Jan_Rybicki I still tinker with the code on occasion. The version in GitHub is most updated. Pls post issues there and I will review. (Jan’s right about lexicon-based methods: kinda old tech now; ok for some things tho)

My contribution for #DayofDH2021 An R wrapper for MALLET. See https://t.co/l7x9atxlZx (and please contribute). Room for improvement (and better docs) before going to CRAN, but handles all the main TM functions out of the box. Requires MALLET be installed. @dmimno

Did you know data can help predict whether a book will be a bestseller? @mljockers and Jodie Archer reveal their Bestseller Code on "Fixed That For You". Then author @StephenMarche uses part of that code to write a machine-assisted sci-fi story! #FTFY
