12/02/2003 08:47 AM In a comment, Kevin Jordan writes: 348North News is a normal
aggregator in much of the way you think of it. However, it allows me
to identify keywords or themes that it puts together into phrases
— and then matches up the phrases with like articles. Like a
cross between Google News and Daypop (but that makes it sound much
more complex than it is). If you want to see an "interests" based
summary for me, check out the Phrase Index. I use fairly general
keywords so as not to miss out on the future items. I haven't tried...

Preferably, it should be optimized for server applications and high

01/22/2004 02:48 AM DAVID LEONHARDT writes in a NY Times article about people playing
the odds of everyday life with Bayesian Analysis. He describes new
research, recently published in Nature, "which stands out because it
offers a detailed window into how the Bayesian thought process works,
showing the point when uncertainty becomes great enough to give past
experience an edge over current observation." Bayesian Analysis, among
researchers, is "the combining of new information with conventional
wisdom." I do agree about their reliance on past observations, but I
believe that they have underestimated the role of future orientation
in the whole mix of decision making.

Bayesian spam filtering for the masses
Bayesian spam filtering for the masses
10/30/2003 11:59 PMSpam, or unsolicited commercial e-mail, is now a sad part of everyday
life online. Research companies estimate that more than 50% of the
worldwide e-mail traffic is spam. As a result, it's becoming
constantly more difficult and time-consuming to sort out legitimate
e-mails from the deluge of commercial messages we're being flooded
with. But there are ways to fight back. In this series, we'll walk
through choosing and setting up a highly effective package for
screening out spam.

12/02/2003 07:37 AMBayesian anti-spam filters count word-frequency in suspect and compare
the results to profiles of word-frequency in spam and ham. Defeating
this requires that your spam include a lot of natural human prose. So
spammers have started to mine the Gutenberg Project and other sources
of human-generated ASCII and dumping random hunks of literature into
their messages to get around the filters.
Blogger and journalist Clive Thompson found an excerpt from Chapter 20
of The Master Key by Wizard of Oz author L Frank Baum in a message
that had as its subject line "the big unit" (no prizes for guessing
what the rest of it was hawking).

Bayesian decision-making rules our

01/22/2004 02:47 AMBayesian statistical modelling is a tool used to compare new events to
past experience, something useful for applications as diverse as
predicting whether a message is spam and whether a Web-page is
relevant to a given subject. New research indicates that we do a lot
of Bayesian comparisons in our heads, particularily when engaged in
athletic tasks:
"Most decisions in our lives are done in the presence of uncertainty,"
Dr. Körding said. "In all these cases, the prior knowledge we have
can be very helpful. If the brain works in the Bayesian way, it would
optimally use the prior knowledge."
The researchers drew the analogy to tennis in their paper, and it is
not the first study to suggest that athletes have a more sophisticated
understanding of mathematics than even they may realize.

Bayesian spam rumination: when
word-frequency-histograms attack!
06/29/2004 10:40 AMEd Felten has posted an intriguing rumination on the possible failure
modes of Bayesian spam-filtering -- filtering that uses word-frequency
statistics to classify email as spam or ham. As Ed points out,
Bayesian filters are trained by the spammers, who, by choosing the
vocabulary of their messages carefully, can make messages containing
certain words or phrases undeliverable on the Internet.
Now suppose a big spammer wanted to poison a particular word, so that
messages containing that word would be (mis)classified as spam. The
spammer could sprinkle the target word throughout the word salad in
his outgoing spam messages. When users classified those messages as
spam, the targeted word would develop a negative score in the users'
Bayesian spam filters. Later, messages with the targeted word would
likely be mistaken for spam.
This attack could even be carried out against a particular targeted
user. By feeding that user a steady diet of spam (or pseudo-spam)
containing the target word, a malicious person could build up a highly
negative score for that word in the targeted user's filter.

Working Hard, Hardly Working
06/15/2004 10:07 AMThree years ago, I was working at a small company as the unofficial IT
director / all-purpose computer bitch. I was laid off in early 2003,
but to this day, the job presents me with difficulties; namely, that
of telling prospective employers what I did, and for that matter, what
the company itself did. I have virtually no idea what this company's
function was, despite working there for over a year and a half,
although I did learn how to spew an amazing amount of marketing jargon
without thinking. As for my role there, it was essentially vast
tracts of doing absolutely nothing, punctuated erratically by moments
of panicking and crisis-defusion, usually involving something truly
earth-shattering like the CEO not being able to print her email. When
asked by interviewers "What did your company do?" I am forced to
mumble vaguaries about consulting and hope they leave the issue alone.

Wi-Fi Means: Never Having to Say "I'm
Not Working"
01/16/2004 11:01 AMThe New York Times offers this cheery piece that suggests you can
still ignore your kids while in the same room [reg. required]: I'm
sounding cynical, but this article does extol the virtues of being
able to be connected all of the time and work all of the time, even
when in physical proximity to your family. Seriously, however, the
notion that you can get necessary work done and not have to hole
yourself up in a basement or at a specific location is one of the
great benefits of a home wireless network. Oddly, the piece opens
looking at Oren Michels, identifying him as the president of a human
resources benefits administration firm. I knew that name, so I perform
a Google search, and find that he is also president and CEO of
WiFinder, a Wi-Fi directory site. (Disclosure: I'm the senior editor
at JiWire, an editorial and directory site focused on wireless that
competes for ad/sponsor dollars with WiFinder.) I shot a note to Oren
to confirm that he was still in that role at WiFinder, which he is.
Like WiFinder's chairman and founder Scott Rafer, Oren wears a few
hats. My point here is not that it's odd that Oren has multiple jobs,
but rather it's an odd choice of the reporter to not mention that Oren
Michels is the head of a company that's devoted to spreading
information about Wi-Fi. It's not bias; it's just a strange omission,
n'est c'est pas?...
