Hey all, CRM114 newb here. Originally looked at CRM114 somewhere around BlameEasterBunny and was scared away. I've recently come into the need for a non-email text classifier and delved back into the world of CRM114 - and very glad I did. This is heady stuff and my mind is swimming with the possibilities. 'Twould be a shame to shackle such power to simple email filtering, IMHO. Even though spam filtering appears by far to be the most common use, I was disgusted to find CRM114 in the Mail ports on FreeBSD instead of Textproc. :) After wading through "CRM114 Revealed" I happily noticed the mention that some of the classifiers support N-way choices. Prior to reading this, I assumed all classifiers were two-way. I envisioned a tree that would allow for N classifications by doing up to hundreds of binary classifications in series. It appears like that method is unnecessary. Here's my question: which of the seven classifiers included with CRM114 BlameDalkey support N-way? I've made some guesses, but a lot of this stuff is yet a ways above me. BTW, this info would be a nice addition to the classifier summary chart on page 171 on the book. Happy CRMming! Brad Waite |
