About Massif
Massif is an umbrella project that curates and indexes authentic foreign-language content for learners. Its first available tool is a search engine at massif.la/ja for Japanese example sentences drawn from novels and dramas, which links back to source content when possible.
The GitHub repository contains code powering that site plus research code around sentence scoring. The author notes the repository mixes coherent site code with research scraps and is probably not of much use to others at this point.
