# LUCI: Linguistic Uncertainty Classifier Interface
Pronounced: [ˈlusi]
---
### Description
A Python implementation of a classifier for linguistic uncertainty, based on the work described in Vincze et al.[`[1]`](#f1):
```
Vincze, V. (2015). Uncertainty detection in natural language texts (Doctoral dissertation, szte).
```
Consult the [Wiki](https://github.com/meyersbs/uncertainty/wiki) for further details.
