Hello, I am pleased to announce the availability of the plugin acts_as_classifier which allows using the ''classifier'' gem in a Rails application. This plugin can be downloaded from http://opensvn.csie.org/sksinghi/acts_as_classifiable/ This plugin is useful in scenarios where you want to distinguish between spam or non-spam comments, Or maybe you want to track the preferences of each user and then based on that make suggestions to them, etc. More information + example on this can be found at: http://cuttingtheredtape.blogspot.com/2006/05/actsasclassifiable.html Any issues/questions let me know. -- Surendra Singhi http://ssinghi.kreeti.com, http://www.kreeti.com Read my blog at: http://cuttingtheredtape.blogspot.com/ ,---- | "War is Peace!

That''s great Surendra. (having read your posted information) For those of us not familiar with Bayesian classifiers, I''m don''t understand how it would be used to classify. You mention training - are we required to implement methods to do the classification? I definetly have some requirements for such a gem, but am unsure how I''d go about actually using it. Thanx again.

grin. thanx Peter (i''m the one to usually suggest obvious references. lol) . I think that wp entry gave me enough info to start. ie. the specific application of training and initial classification are the keys to usage. cheers, J On 19-May-06, at 11:52 AM, Peter De Berdt wrote:>> (having read your posted information) For those of us not familiar >> with Bayesian classifiers, I''m don''t understand how it would be >> used to classify > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_filter > > Best regards > > Peter De Berdt

Right now, it doesn''t uses prior probabilities, no classification threshold, cost-sensitive learning, etc. But, it should be good for general usage. Also, tuning it do better will require some experience with the domain where you are using it. [1]I posted a message on the classifier gem forum, but haven''t got a reply so far, maybe I should try sending them a personal email.
