Project purpose and scope
The purpose of this project is to create a semantic analysis tool for the ICON ecosystem

- Twitter (using #ICX and similar)
- Discord (ICON Foundation server)
Semantic analysis may be amalgamated into a score, and it shall be produced by a modern AI system, using neural networks. Example networks may be found on huggingface.co.
