Flaptor autotagger

by dbasch — 4 Comments »

We just put up a beta version of our autotagging software at tagger.flaptor.com. It is a program that uses machine learning techniques to guess what tags could apply to a blog post or a news article. Please give it a try and tell us what you think!

Some interesting facts about it:

  • The current algorithm learned from hundreds of thousands of blog posts from different rss feeds, all of them in English. We plan to support other languages soon.
  • It is slightly biased towards current events, as most posts are from the past few weeks.
  • If you click on a suggested tag, you will see information regarding what words in the post contributed to that tag. This gives you a hint as to what search engines may think of your post based on the words it contains.

We are very excited about this tool and we will continue to improve it in the near future so stay tuned!
