I definitely agree that the same weights won't be optimal for different domains. If you need to parse tweets, you should have a tweet-trained model. The tweet model probably shouldn't be thinking about Jane Austen novels. We want to open a model store where you can buy language and domain specific models.

I think 99% of the time there's one best algorithm, and even one best implementation of it. It's the weights, and sometimes the features, that need to vary.

Finally — I love displaCy too. Ines does great work :). Have you seen that we open-sourced this recently? It's now very easy to run locally, and connect up to the model you're developing. You can use this with any other parser, too. https://explosion.ai/blog/displacy-js-nlp-visualizer

I am so glad that you guys open sourced displaCy. I would love to give it a spin on my system. Kudos for all the great work you are doing!
