EPFL student creates a new language-analysis program

Jonathan Besomi, a Master's student at EPFL, has developed a program called Texthero that lets users generate representations of textual data with just a few lines of code, thereby simplifying the analysis of natural languages. We now live in a data-filled age that has ushered in its own distinct challenges. One of the biggest is how to analyze vast reams of information. In response, Besomi, a Master's student in data science, has developed Texthero , a program that simplifies the task of analyzing textual data. It was created in the spring of 2020 under the supervision of Kenneth Younge, Chair of Technology and Innovation Strategy at EPFL's Management of Technology & Entrepreneurship Institute. Designed as open-source software and written in the Python programming language, Texthero swiftly won over developers around the world. "Texthero has been downloaded over 23,000 times so far, and has been awarded 2,000 stars on the Github platform ," says Besomi.
