Plan for Spam, Version 2

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bayesian-filtering-for-a-quieter-inbox dept.

bugbear writes "I just posted a new version of the Plan for Spam Bayesian filtering algorithm. The big change is to mark tokens by context. The new version decreases spams missed by 50%, to 2.5 per 1000, even though spam has gotten harder to filter since the summer. I also talk about how spam will evolve, and what to do about it."
