Aggregator inside aggregator

Aggregator inside aggregator 09/21/2004 10:57 PM
You know whenever people post screenshots of emulators, how it can be weird to see Windows running on a Mac? (Even weirder if you actually use an emulator, until you get used to it.)

Here’s a similar side effect of having embedded a browser in NetNewsWire. (Click for full-size screen shots.)



Even though it’s odd, there’s actually a point to it—we discovered that some people use multiple aggregators. One for fun stuff and one for work, that kind of thing.

If one is browser-based and the other embeds a browser, then, well, hey, you’ve got something like the above.

Java Bayesian 04/01/2005 06:56 AM

Is there a decent open source Java Bayesian package that is not GPL or similarly restricted from commercial use?  I am aware of only Classifier4J.  Preferably, it should be optimized for server applications and high performance.

Subconsciously, People may be Bayesian

Subconsciously, People may be Bayesian 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.

Working with Bayesian categorizers

Working with Bayesian categorizers 12/02/2003 01:38 AM

There's been some discussion in the blog world about using a Bayesian categorizer to enable a person to discriminate along various interest/non-interest axes. I took a run at this recently and, although my experiments haven't been wildly successful, I want to report them because I think the idea may have merit. [Full story: O'Reilly Network: Working with Bayesian Categorizers]

This month's O'Reilly Network column was a struggle because categorization itself is a struggle. I remain convinced that the automated classifiers that are doing such a good job beating back the tide of spam will also turn out to be more generally useful. But finding the right synergy between an automated assistant and a human overseer is a subtle and tricky thing. ...

Bayesian 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 spam filtering for the masses

Bayesian spam filtering for the masses 10/30/2003 11:59 PM
Spam, 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.

Bayesian decision-making rules our
unconscious 01/22/2004 02:47 AM
Bayesian 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

Bayesian spam rumination: when
word-frequency-histograms attack! 06/29/2004 10:40 AM
Ed 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.

NewsGator: Beyond the Aggregator

NewsGator: Beyond the Aggregator 07/03/2004 09:23 PM

Why Did We Invest in NewsGator?: Here's a post from a venture capitalist about why he invested in NewsGator.

The misperception is that NewsGator is only an Outlook plug-in. While the most popular product from NewsGator is currently their Outlook-based aggregator, what really turned us on when we dug into NewsGator as a potential investment is NewsGator Online Services (NGOS).

Greg Reinacker's vision is much broader than simply an RSS aggregator - his goal is to provide RSS content on any device. NewsGator currently provides clients for Outlook, the Web, POP email, mobile devices (web-based and wap), and Microsoft Media Center (how cool is it to get an RSS feed on your TV?).

He makes a good point — NewsGator has really extended past Outlook. They started with that, and the Outlook plug-in is what they're most well-known for, but I just wrapped up 30 days with Newsgator Online Services (NOS), and I can tell you that they've deftly transcended the aggregator.

While working with NOS, I got the...feeling, that news and information was just out there, everywhere, and it was up to me how I wanted to receive it. They have options to push information to about any device, on any platform. I've never felt more saturated by news in my life than during those 30 days.

Information was everywhere — so much so that I stopped thinking in terms of this aggreagtor or that protocol. I was just swimming in information, and the method in which I chose to receive it was almost incidental. Petty, even.

"mNews looks quite good but perhaps quite high at $19.95- 'Sports, weather, politics, business, science, health, technology... Latest world headlines were never so easy to access on your Treo as they are now with mNews! With mNews you can download and read latest news from numerous sources of your choice from around the world right on your Treo. mNews is the RSS news reader for PalmOne Treo 600 devices. RSS news feeds is an emerging channel for delivering the news, blogs and corporate communication to the end users.

A competitor to Hand/RSS, but I still think mobile Bloglines is the way to go so that your feeds are synchronized across multiple devices.

Yahoo Aggregator

Yahoo Aggregator 01/07/2004 06:17 PM

Yahoo is beta testing an RSS Aggregator that integrates into the My Yahoo service, but their advertising of it has fallen flat. Because I choose the contents of a My Yahoo page, I have a sense of ownership of the page. Personalized pages tend to evoke that feeling. So imagine my surprise when I open My Yahoo today and find that there’s a new content module for RSS added to the top of the page. I wasn’t sure whether to feel excited or violated. It’s great that Yahoo is embracing RSS, but they messed with my page.

Nevertheless I tried testing it, but when trying to add feeds or search for feeds, I received a message saying that I didn’t have access. Curious to see if I’d get the same message if I tried removing the module, I hit the remove button. Now it’s gone and there doesn’t seem to be a way to add it back.

It might seem strange that I’m complaining that I can’t get something back when I didn’t want it in the first place, but it goes back to that sense of ownership. I know that content module exists, but I can’t add it to my page.

Yahoo Re-aggregator 01/23/2004 01:23 AM

After a false start earlier this month, My Yahoo now has an RSS aggregator.

When the module appeared on my Yahoo and I complained about it, I was informed by Yahoo employees that it was a bug that caused the pre-beta module to show up on some My Yahoo pages. It wasn’t an intentional marketing effort, but the buzz created by the snafu didn’t hurt Yahoo’s cause.

The module isn’t yet available on the standard list of My Yahoo modules. To add it you’ll need to go to add.my.yahoo.com/rss.

Dean Aggregator

Mike Muegel, a Dean supporter, has put together a very cool little tool that aggregates blogs related to the Dean campaign. It sits in your system tray and pulls in entries from a whole bunch o' sites, and lets you cycle through them one at a time. In my experience with it over the past few weeks, it's been very well-behaved, updating itself cleanly. Desktop Dean is free, of course. You could probably talk to Mike about having him do a version for some other topic you or your business cares about......
