Some say that if you can’t measure something, you’re not doing science. Bayesian logic offers a way to measure things that were previously unmeasurable, allowing us to test hypotheses and predictions ...

We suspect that you had more than enough mathematics in the form of Bayes Theorem last week so this week we’ll explain how it’s used in what is called Bayesian filtering to remove spam (note that the ...

No matter how your customers use their computers, there is one common denominator that affects them all: spam, which represents as much as 85 percent of all e-mail sent and received, according to the ...

The Grumpy Editor's guide to bayesian spam filters was published one week ago. As has become traditional, it would seem, LWN readers have pointed out tools which evaded your editor's first pass. So ...

An analysis technique that has been applied to eliminating spam. It "learns" to differentiate real mail from advertising by examining the words and punctuation in large samples of both types of ...

Achieving a 98%+ spam detection rate using a mathematical approach This white paper describes how Bayesian mathematics can be applied to the spam problem, resulting in an adaptive, ‘statistical ...

Bayesian spam filtering is based on Bayes rule, a statistical theorem that gives you the probability of an event. Bayesian filtering is used to give you the probability that a certain email is spam. 2 ...

Software maker Roaring Penguin Tuesday released an upgrade to its CanIt anti-spam program that includes Bayesian filters to help the software recognize spam and block it before it reaches end users’ ...

Nature has evolved many molecular machines such as kinesin, myosin, and the rotary flagellar motor powered by an ion current from the mitochondria. Direct observation of the step-like motion of these ...

That is not my experience. I used to run a commercial e-mail security company. Our software included a feature whereby we'd collect tokens from emails that our customers all over the world had marked ...
