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 functionalitywise, 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.

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.
