I'm greatly happy on seeing libraries that work with my mother language on HN :-)

I guess people think that well... 'glorified wrappers' aren't worth discussion on HN because there's too many NLP libraries on English? There aren't a lot of libraries around Korean, especially practical ones so I'm happy to see KoLNPy on HN.

Surprised but happy to see this here. I maintain a few Python wrappers for MeCab and was working on Korean support when I found this - it was better than I whatever I was doing so I linked to it instead.

This is very cool. While I do not speak Korean, I can appreciate the part-of-speech tagging and the other features, as that's required in any NLP framework. I'm wondering, is there a way to generate a syntax tree using this framework? Just looking at the docs now.

why is this getting attention?

Irony abounds

This is just a glorified wrapper around existing solutions. Can’t understand that this is worth doctoral dissertation.

It was just a 4 pages long proceeding paper. There is nothing to be serious about.

Everyone stands on the shoulder of giants.

Some stands on the shoulders of TPUs that do 1 century worth of compute in a day. Other stands on the shoulders of C or Python libraries.

Also, is engineering "just a glorified wrapper around science"?, is physics "just a glorified wrapper around maths"?, and is litterature "just a glorified wrapper around words"?

What's with the condescension culture?
