Witt: Querying technology terms based on automated classification

Witt is a tool that systematically and automatically categorizes software technologies using original information extraction algorithms applied to Stack Overflow and Wikipedia. Witt takes as input a term, such as "django", and returns one or more categories that describe it (e.g., "fr...

Witt is a tool that systematically and automatically categorizes software technologies using original information extraction algorithms applied to Stack Overflow and Wikipedia. Witt takes as input a term, such as "django", and returns one or more categories that describe it (e.g., "framework"), along with attributes that further qualify it (e.g., "web-application").
