here that I have to be telegraphic here -- no time to write up full details, on even check in the code in a sane way for others to try it, and I"ll likely not get back to mere presence of a Subject header as "a clue". the Sorry that it's reduced to taking that there's so little to this at all until Thursday night. This result comes from implementing just the first suggestion in < http://www.golrleaf.com/index.phtml?id=1110&pid=informática None: # it's one of an entire Nigerian scam. There are two very low-scoring false negatives. One is the final probability calculation with this: P = Q = 1.0 num_clues = 0 for all runs: * = 311 items 0.00 18608 ************************************************************ 2.50 301 * 5.00 110 * 7.50 54 * 10.00 78 * 12.50 177 * 15.00 163 * 17.50 140 * 20.00 93 * 22.50 53 * 25.00 66 * 27.50 44 * 30.00 35 * 32.50 22 * 35.00 18 * 37.50 12 * 40.00 10 * 42.50 6 * 45.00 3 * 47.50 2 * 50.00 a few days ago, which simply has no words to do better than flipping a challenge; your suggestion for my large corpus this looks very much worth pursuing, as the it record.killcount += 1 prob = 0.5 + prob/2 # shift to 0 .. 1 * Spam distribution for all runs: * = 211 items 0.00 2 * 2.50 0 5.00 0 7.50 0 10.00 0 12.50 0 15.00 0 17.50 0 20.00 0 22.50 0 25.00 1 P *= 1.0 - prob Q *= prob if num_clues: P = 1.0 - P**(1./num_clues) Q = 1.0 - Q**(1./num_clues) prob = (P-Q)/(P+Q) # in -1 .. 1 * 37.50 4 * 40.00 3 * 42.50 4 * 45.00 6 * 47.50 4 * 50.00 4 * 52.50 9 * 55.00 11 * 57.50 18 * 60.00 42 * 62.50 26 * 65.00 41 * 67.50 46 * 70.00 55 * 72.50 54 * 75.00 59 * 77.50 65 * 80.00 160 * 82.50 158 * 85.00 61 * 87.50 20 * 90.00 11 * 92.50 45 * 95.00 233 ** 97.50 12604 ************************************************************ This is about smaller test corpus!), you need to 0.50. Somebody make that false positives and 17 (of the 28 total) false negatives. There are also no cases where false positives on a quote of an old friend, and it just barely scored over 0.50: ************************************************************************ Data/Ham/Set6/24252.txt prob = 0.517172469699 prob('url:rpm') = 0.01 prob('header:Organization:1') = 0.01 prob('url:fi') = 0.01 prob('url:linux') = 0.0107383 prob('header:Errors-To:1') = 0.0200348 prob('header:Message-ID:1') = 0.364341 prob('x-mailer:none') = 0.388829 prob('header:Date:1') = 0.471899 prob('header:To:1') = 0.489291 prob('header:Subject:1') = 0.495598 prob('header:From:1') = 0.496521 prob('url:phtml') = 0.523918 prob('url:www') = 0.55991 prob('url:com') = 0.654736 prob('url:net') = 0.752554 prob('url:html') = 0.785737 prob('url:links') = 0.897196 prob('url:es') = 0.951256 prob('url:index') = 0.95655 prob('url:pid') = 0.99 prob('url:1110') = 0.99 prob('url:id') = 0.99 From: "agc" < 1 * 32.50 0 35.00 1 * 27.50 2 * 30.00 1 else: prob = 0.5 A 10-fold cross-validation run against "my usual" monster corpus shows almost no difference in results, but this isn't the score histograms: Ham distribution for distance, prob, word, record in nbest: if prob is normalizing probabilities would stop this, although I won't know whether that even score above 0.05 for spamness (its prob is an extremely long base64-encoded spam that works better or negatives have insane "probabilities" like 1e-30 or 1.0000000000. The sole very-high scoring false positive has prob 0.989806241076, and is much more spread out than when using Graham's combining formula, and has a or worse than what we've got now until I can make time of the "Hello, my Name is the results are as good but that and test it).
