Machine learning for LibreOffice

Hi;

PyTorch looks very interesting. Is there anyone working on grammar checkers? LibreOffice has a simple one built as a Python extension:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/lightproof/tree/

It would be great to have something much better and the current one is definitely helpful but doesn’t do that much yet. It doesn’t need to be better than human performance to be useful to their 10s of millions of users :wink:

BTW, you’d have to talk to the LibreOffice folks, but it could be a potential Google Summer of Code project. I see deep learning showing up on lots of services, but it would be good to get it on the free desktop also. I’ve heard Microsoft is adding machine learning to Excel. With the Python support, LibreOffice is a great way to test ideas and help real people!
