Acknowledgements

This package is build as a python replacement for the R ndl2 package. Some ideas on how to build the API and how to efficiently run the Rescorla Wagner iterative learning on large text corpora are inspired by the way the ndl2 package solves this problems. The ndl2 package is available on Github here.
