I was connected to this project through neovintages blog articles I found in my search to understand machine learning and what I can do with it in ruby.

I'm interested doing text processing, and the one article specifically pointed this out for text processing -- but it seems to take only libsvm formats (which I'm still trying to learn) and to do text processing requires a bit more along the lines of sally(http://www.mlsec.org/sally) which I've also stumbled across and am integrating into what I'm trying to accomplish.

So, 2 question points:

1 - Is there some sort of text processing feature I'm unaware of? From what I saw there is not, but if there would be more examples would be appreciated.
2 - What is the exact data format(s)? I know it is libsvm data, but the example is sparse at best.
