iKnow, our Open Source Python library, hits v1.0!

The first full release of our iKnow open-source NLP library is now available on GitHub and PyPI! 

The iKnow engine has been available as an InterSystems embedded technology for almost 10 years and the core engine was published to open source earlier this year. Now, in the slipstream of Virtual Summit 2020, we're glad to announce the availability of v1.0, which adds all-Python access to the core engine, documentation and samples on the language model contents and a Jupyter demo notebook to get you started. The technology continues to be available as part of IRIS for embedded use under the name InterSystems IRIS NLP and is included in all license types. Kudos to the whole team to get us to enterprise quality in both standalone and embedded form! 

To download and install iKnow, all you need to do is run pip install iknowpy and you're ready to start indexing. 

@Aohan Dang and I will take you through the how and why of the library during a VS2020 Focus Session on Oct 27 at 12:15PM ET (or sooner, at 2:15PM AEST for APAC), or you can be totally impatient and watch our demo in the Demo Zone:
