Naive Bayes Classifier using Python and Kyoto Cabinet
In this post I will describe how to build a simple naive bayes classifier with Python and the Kyoto Cabinet key/value database. I'll begin with a short description of how a probabilistic classifier works, then we will implement a simple classifier and put it to use by writing a spam detector. The training and test data will come from the Enron spam/ham corpora, which contains several thousand emails that have been pre-categorized as spam or ham.
