ZReverend, bayesian classifier for Zope 3
Reverend is a lightweight python tool by Amir Bakhtiar that provides a
bayesian classifier. It’s a perfect tool to classify spam mails for
instance.

It was its first use case anyway, since the authors based it on Christophe
Delord PopF tool:

I need this tool for the webmail I am coding but since I have thaught of
many other usages in zope for a bayesian classifier, I have created a small
Zope 3 utility (very early stage right now).
The Z3 product is called “zreverend” and wraps reverend into zope by:
- automatically saving the bayesian network into persistent dictionnaries
in the ZODB - publish all useful methods to use reverend in some code
- provide a minima managment screen
- … more to come i guess
That’s my first “pure” zope 3 product so besides its usage it provided me a
good training. (it still needs some good code review though)
Notice that Zope 2 developers can use it through Five, by manually
instanciate ZBayes objects, like I did in CPSMailAccess with zemantic and
like I will with zreverend.
Browse the code here:
https://svn.nuxeo.org/trac/pub/browser/z3lab/zreverend/trunk/
get the code with svn like this:
svn co https://svn.nuxeo.org/pub/z3lab/zreverend/trunk/ zreverend
If this tool is somehow useful to you or if please let me know !
