This article is a report about our Open Source project(Expertiza) - Turn automated_metareview folder into a gem . It explains the design considerations, steps followed, issues faced while setting up Expertiza. It explains how our team manages to create a new Gem file, and test it on the existing Expertiza system.

Project Description

Existing Expertiza system had automated_metareview.rb class which was using the text processing functionality from automated_metareview directory. "automated_metareview" directory had 18 files which included features like spell checker, plagiarism check and the review tone.
What it does: Gives automatic feedback to a reviewer, using NLP text analysis, to help the reviewer improve the review.
What needs to be done: We had to convert automated_metareview directory into a gem so that it can be used with other review systems.
Our goal was to remove the automated_metareview directory from existing Expertiza system. Include all those features in the Gem, and then import the functionality from the Gem file.
