TaQuilla 0.3.0 released

By rkent, on December 22nd, 2009

I’ve just uploaded a new version of TaQuilla to Mozilla’s add-on site. You can download it here. It is still listed as experimental status, so updates are not automatic. Details of the changes in this revision are available here, but briefly it mostly adds some user interface consolidations for consistency, plus support for Thunderbird 3.0 and SeaMonkey 2.0.

Frankly, I’ve struggled to find a good personal use of TaQuilla for use in my dogfooding. I’ve tried using it to categorize “interesting” posts, but I can’t even agree myself from day-to-day what is “interesting”, and the soft tagging is even more [...]

Bad effects on junk training corpus from change

By rkent, on December 2nd, 2009

(I added full tokenization of the Received: and x-spam-status: headers). At the same time, I started some experiments where I am automatically training certain incoming emails as good.

What I am seeing is that the common, unchanging words in the Received: header, like “received:from” and “received:(exim”, are persistently occurring with a moderate “good” score, such as 36, even after training junk messages with those headers. There are a lot of these little meaningless tokens per message though, and they [...]
