DeepRegex: Neural Generation of Regular Expressions from Natural Language

Hey HN! One of the authors here. This was a fun project to work on. Happy to answer any questions :)<p>Code + data here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nicholaslocascio&#x2F;deep-regex" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nicholaslocascio&#x2F;deep-regex</a>

As soon as I saw the title I started thinking of how great it would be to have a solid NaturalLanguage -&gt; Regex translator, something I&#x27;ve always wanted. Regex is so powerful, but sometimes it takes so long to get it to do what you want it to.

The applications of this for scraping alone are amazing
