It extracts character n-grams from input, hashes them to embedding vectors, and passes the averaged embeddings through a small neural network to predict language. The model outputs BCP-47 language codes and can distinguish between different scripts of the same language.\n\nThe package ships with precompiled inference code and a trained model, so no training or model download is required at runtime. It has no runtime dependencies. However, the package is abandoned\u2014the repository was archived and the last release was 2020-08-19, meaning no bug fixes, security updates, or support for newer Python versions are expected.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need lightweight language detection for a stable, well-defined use case and can accept that the package will not receive updates. The model is frozen and the package has no runtime dependencies, so it will continue to work predictably. No, if you require support for modern Python versions, active maintenance, or security patches\u2014use an actively maintained alternative instead."},"id":"gcld3","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gcld3","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gcld3.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/gcld3/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-08-19","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"gcld3","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"CLD3 is a neural network model for language identification."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":109802,"position":12498,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.0.13"}
