@mananpal1997 just wanted to check in. How is this coming along? Do you need any help?

[mananpal1997]

@lonerz Sorry for the delay, was busy with my university examinations. Will be opening the pr by tomorrow 👍

[lonerz]

@mananpal1997 no problem. No worries, take your time.

@lonerz I'm using nlp basics right now for label matching. Is it okay or should I use an api? Because I guess we'll be needing nlp later when we add more features and extensibility.

[lonerz]

@mananpal1997 go for it. If it is easier, maybe resort to API? I think we should get something working first, and we can always go back and change the algorithm a bit. @synicalsyntax any comment here?

[mananpal1997]

@lonerz @synicalsyntax I've decided to extract keywords from labels using "IBM Alchemy API" and then suggest matching labels using nlp package "natural". I've the code almost ready. Should I open a PR or any suggestions first? 😃

[synicalsyntax]

Feel free to open a PR whenever you're ready :)
