Hi all,
What frameworks are there available for doing pattern classification?
I'm generally interested in the problem of mapping some sort of input
to one or more categories. For example, I want to be able to solve
problems like taking text and applying one or more tags to it like
"romance", "horror", "poetry", etc. This isn't really my research
specialty, but my understanding is that Bayesian classifiers are
generally used for problems like this. I've had CRM114 recommended to
me, but as far as I can tell there aren't any python bindings for
this. From a few searches online, I've come across the Open Bayes
project which is a Python library for working with Bayesian networks,
and it also appears that DSPAM has some Python bindings, but from the
cursory look I gave it it's hard to tell how general purpose the DSPAM
engine is. Has anyone worked with any of these frameworks? Are there
any other frameworks I should be aware of?
Also, as a sidenote, are there any texts that anyone can recommend to
me for learning more about this area? I'm a mathematician by training,
so I'm not afraid to jump into reasonably advanced statistics
papers/books if necessary.

I've utilized the CRM114 classifier from python. It wasn't too hard to come
up with a simple wrapping that only needs the crm114 binary somewhere. The
rest was dealt with in python.
So if CRM114 fits you needs functionalitywi se, you should go for it.

In fact, a wide variety of classifiers are used in text classification,
including Bayesian approaches, support vector machines, conditional
random fields, etc.
Are there any other frameworks I should be aware of?
I have used (but not recently) Orange: http://www.ailab.si/orange
I haven't used, but have been meaning to try, PyML: http://pyml.sourceforge.net/
A more recent addition (whose documentation needs work) is: http://montepython.sourceforge.net/
And here's a Summer of Code project to build an ML library: http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scip...achineLearning
These are all general-purpose machine learning frameworks. So they can
be applied to pretty much any classification problem (including the text
classification problems you're looking at). You just need to pick out a
set of relevant features to describe your data, and feed those features
along with your chosen labels to a machine learning algorithm.

Thanks Steven (and Diez), the projects you pointed me to look like
great places to start.

Could anybody try to explain me in his own words how this pattern work and

Basically I'd like to implement the composite design pattern with leaves that
are either of reference or value types, but even using generics I can't seem
to avoid boxing (using ArrayList or Object)
Is this even possible, or is the composite pattern doomed to use the
System.Object type forever?
I have tried using interfaces with generics, but I always stumble on the
Value property (when trying to return the value of a particular node)

As Richard Bos rightly pointed out, I had left in my classification
of types the C99 types Complex and boolean. Here is a new
classification. Those are not mentioned in the classification
of Plauger and Brody, probably because their work predates
C99. Since there are no examples of this in the literature
(known to me) please take a look.
Thanks

Greetings All,
I had a question about OO implementation in the MVC pattern that is
directed at anyone who feels experienced with it.
My fuzziness comes from trying to learn OOP and MVC at the same time,
coming from a procedural background where I used neither. I promise
I'm not a dummy, and my logic skills are very strong, but this really
is a whole new world for me.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
