changing architecture of component

As I am in the middle of the development (a little bit more than 60% done) of my PHP Bayesian Naive Filter (a learning filter against spams comment, guestbook, and posting in general) for Joomla/Mambo and after reading some paper found on internet:

  • On Attacking Statistical Spam Filters, Gregory L. Wittel and S. Felix Wu - Department of Computer Science - University of California, Davis One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616 USA
  • A Naive Bayes Spam Filter, Kai Wei kwei@cs.berkeley.edu CS281A Project, Fall 2003
  • But there is more...

I decide that my project will be certainly a failure if I rewrite or reuse a Bayesian filter engine which is not accurate or using the latest countermeasures. Since I do not want to develop during 3 years an effective filter (will I ever be able to do it???), I came across the idea of implementing the component com_bayesiannaivefilter in such a way that I can abstract the core engine and use the work done by the best open source project.

It is also clear for me since the beginning that a spam filter must be trained on a very large data volume (more than 1000 messages, the more the better) in order to categorize the message with accuracy. Webservices will have my preference as an internet entities with the require cpu horsepower and data store should be able to offer the best categorizing messages efficiency....

My component will be able to use following Bayesian Naive Filter core: (planned but not done, I it is technically possible I will do it)

Plugins Remarqs Possible open source project
JAVA I am a J2EE developer, Back to the roots :-) Som. to propose? contact me!
PHP Core done, but very simple tokenization and hashing of message
Volume of data small
Som. to propose? contact me!
PERL Can PHP call perl code? Som. to propose? contact me!
CGI-BIN Should be easy to do Som. to propose? contact me!
WEBSERVICES Should be easy as soon as we found a WS provider
Data volume?
Som. to propose? contact me!

Each technology may contains many core engine, or different versions. I will fill this table with possible candidate (You can heelp me by suggesting or speeding development).

Core requirement:

  • Use mySQL,
  • Most of internet provider allow the use of CGI-BIN, PERL, JAVA

This project will be soon committed to Joomla forge!

New to Joomla? what are the common 3rd party components, modules, mambots you may need

joomla_cms 

Some remarks:

  • (OSS) mean an open source program, most of the time using GPL license
  • (previously xxx) mean that the team has decide to abandon Mambo for Joomla development
  • These are the 3rd party Tool I highly recommend You to install for Joomla/Mambo. These are the 3rd party softwares I prefer and aren't in any case a MUST.
  • The list isn't in any means complete, there is more than 713 projects host by Joomla forge and. 12000 users creating projects daily and even more on MamboForge (1411 projects and 47177 users)
