compression_classification

Compression Classification is a Python package for classifying via compression.

It is inspired by my talk on "Stupid Language Tricks" and Low-Resource Text Classification: A Parameter-Free Classification Method with Compressors

Simple example:

from compression_classification import compression_classification
clr = compression_classification.CompressionClassifier()
clr.train("FilterGenie    API ", "zh")
clr.train("FilterGenie's infrastructure is built to handle high volumes of data without compromising performance. Whether you have a small-scale project or a large enterprise application, our API scales effortlessly to meet your needs.", "en")

clr.predict("This is the day they give babies away")
'en'

clr.predict("")
'zh'

In general, you'll want a lot more data, though.
