DataQA: the new Python app to do rules-based text annotation

Follow the full discussion on Reddit.
After working in ML for more than a decade, I became frustrated over time with the lack of tools to create baselines using simple rules and heuristics. It is well known that most business problems out there can achieve decent baselines using only heuristics. This is why I have developed DataQA (https://github.com/dataqa/dataqa), which uses NLP rules to do common NLP annotation tasks, such as multiclass classification or named entity recognition.
