Networked Experiments -- IO

While searching for solutions for libraries for natural language analysis and other comparative learning methods that can access a wider audience instead of the regular academic circles (python, matlab, etc), I ended up with web technologies. Since training data, databases, corpuses and other material are quite huge, these tools are available on the server side, calculations and analysis, data manipulations are happening on the server. This can be done on a local machine, but then we are still in the same situation: it can't be distributed to others. So I ended up deploying apps to Heroku, based on NodeJS and node package manager. There are interesting modules available for natural language processing, advanced sound analysis and general machine learning tasks.
