Lance Norskog commented on MAHOUT-941:
--------------------------------------
Suggestion: leave out 'Success' if you commit. It is not a finished product. I
was unable to cleanly remove it from the patch.
Removing the quoted text was a serious win- SGD worked much better without
quoted text and subjects, oddly. See attached zipped files Bayes.zip and
SGD.zip for test runs. I worked against a sample of the Apache email archives;
it's on the net somewhere but I can't find the link just now.

> This patch does 2 things:
> # Add an feature to org.apache.mahout.text.SequenceFilesFromMailArchives that
> removes quoted text from email bodies. This is important because it avoid
> spamming the term dictionary with repeated text, especially in long email
> threads.
> ** The feature defaults to true. Add "--quoted" to the command line to keep
> the quoted lines.
> # Adds some dubious overall measurements to the ConfusionMatrix.
> ** Kappa - a standard measurement.
> *** How different is this confidence matrix from random numbers? 0.0 is the
> same, 1.0 is completely different.
> *** I think this is an "unweighted" kappa.
> ** "Success" - a homegrown formula attempting to represent the correctness of
> each box. Probably bogus.
> *** The standard deviation shows the distance between the success of each
> producer->consumer box.
