Description
I was curious about what classifiers could do. It turns out, a lot, sometimes even play Doom.Jeffy is currently a collection of simple classifiers that can do spam detection, intent routing, topic classification, sentiment analysis and even play DoomJeffy works locally on a regular computer, no GPU needed. It comes with 13 already-trained classifiers, and you can also use Jeffy to train your own classifiersAnd there’s a lot that can be built on top of this style of architectureCurious what tasks people find useful, and what architectures you are using for similar tasks

Could you build this?
Yes Bundling lightweight, pre-trained text classifiers using standard Python ML libraries (such as scikit-learn, ONNX, or fastText) is a routine task easily accomplished with an AI coding assistant.
