This is a browser extension that I developed while a data science fellow at Insight. The fellow is designed to draw users' attention to the most helpful portions of python, stackoverflow answers.
To develop the extension, I trained a recurrent neural network to differentiate between helpful and unhelpful python, stackoverflow answers. The model attained did not obtain perfect accuracy, but managed to discriminate between the two answer types.
When you click the "sift button" a message is sent to an aws server which uses my model to analyze the text on the website. The text which my model regards as most helpful is highlighted.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
