Hi, this is the new track editor, @gkthiruvathukal checking in. I am working to get this and a growing number of track submissions reviewed. Please do bear with me (and JOSS) as there is a bit of a backlog with many of our editors at maximum number of assignments they can edit at the moment. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

[arfon]

@editorialbot assign me as editor

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @arfon is now the editor

[arfon]

👋 @gkthiruvathukal – I can take this one.

[arfon]

@Ayuei – could you take a look a this list of potential reviewers and identify a few people who would be good candidates to review this submission?

@Ayuei – could you take a look a this list of potential reviewers and identify a few people who would be good candidates to review this submission?

Apologies for the late response. But good candidates would be those with a background in information retrieval and natural language processing. The primary programming language used in the package is Python.

I think the following are good candidates (in no particular order):
amitkumarj441
brunaw
elektrobohemian
JacksonMaxfield
KonradHoeffner
shruti-singh

[arfon]
