CasualMallet

CasualMallet is a test application to use the topic modeling features of Mallet (MAchine Learning for LanguagE Toolkit). This is still early in development, so your feedback (bug reports, feature requests) is crucial.

This is still under development, so some features/options may not work at all and there is no guarantee the results are accurate. Your feedback is crucial for further development, so if you try this app, please send bug reports/feature requests, though I cannot guarantee I will incorporate your suggestions/requests (mostly due to my limited programming skills [and limited time]).
