Parameterize THIS!

[flwyd]

My masters comps required a few revisions -- as I thought it would -- which were solved by typesetting it in LaTeX and putting the bibliography into BibTeX. This had been my plan all along, but given my last-minute completion, I didn't have time to typeset, let alone learn how. I receive a graduate degree in less than three weeks and I can finally say I'm able to use LaTeX. Better late than never?

At any rate, you can now read my spammy exploits: Parameterization of Naïve Bayes for Spam Filtering [161KB PDF]. Don't my equations, tables, and references look pretty? If I can ever get latex2html working, I'll put up an html version. Or maybe I'll just provide a less academic and more practical version along with source and live statistics.

(Incidentally, I think Spam Lite (an actual product) is pretty funny. 25% less salt and fat, but it's still got 32g of fat (out of 200g total). But really, who want's low-fat spam? It sounds rather like non-alcoholic beer.)

You know it's funny...I was thinking about the way language changes, and how junk-email is coming to be the most commonly understood definition of "SPAM" ... which I realized because I was in the grocery store the other day, and I walked down the aisle with the SPAM and caught myself thinking, "That doesn't make sense. What does canned meat have to do with spam? Oh wait..."

And realized that, most likely, our children's generation aren't even going to have that "Oh wait". They're just going to see canned SPAM and wonder what the hell the people who named it were thinking.

I just thought that was kinda funny. Anyway, gratz on finishing your project!

I've always thought Spam, itself, is pretty funny... I never really understood why anyone would want to eat it in the first place, much less fat and sodium reduced Spam.

There's just something about "meat" that comes in the shape of a can...

That icon made me laugh out loud by they way...

Mmm. LaTeX. But I think they should have just bitten the bullet with BibTeX and called it BiblioTeX. I also seriously want DiscoTeX.
"Hey Ford?"
Yes, Zaphod?"
"Let's program in DiscoTeX!"

*hug in advance for knowing you will get all the layers of that joke*
