Bridging the US political divide through language.

Description

Biasaurus is a project consisting of two thesauruses. One red, one blue. One on the left, one on the right. Both thesauruses will generate synonyms using a machine learning algorithm that has been trained on a large body of text. The Red one will produce synonyms having only been trained on conservative leaning texts. The blue one will produce synonyms having only been trained on liberal leaning texts. This could essentially be used as an intra-language translation tool.
