GitHub Sponsors Profile

Howdy. I'm working on open-source NLP projects, particularly improving the ease-of-use of Japanese text processing software.
While there are many good tools for working with Japanese text, many are hard to use, and English documentation is often absent, which makes integration into multi-language projects difficult. My goal is to make working with Japanese text easier so the fruit of the international NLP research community can be used more easily.
If you have an open source NLP project and would like to add Japanese support please feel free to contact me.
Some projects I maintain:

mecab-python3, a popular MeCab wrapper for Python
fugashi, a modern Cython wrapper for MeCab
(unofficially) Japanese support in spaCy
posuto, a wrapper for Japan Post postal code data
cutlet, a Japanese to romaji converter

As an independent software developer, I rely on contract work for my primary income. Any income through sponsorships allows me to prioritize open source work. Thanks for any help you can give ❤
