Watchman

What is it?

A core set of utilities frequently used in large data processing / ML projects, exposed as REST endpoints. Want to extract text from HTML?... we've got it. Caption a set of images scraped from the web?... this is your place. Extract entities with MITIE or Stanford NER. Yes please.
