Sorry but that lack of technical detail on our web site about the patent is intentional for now.
then why not wait for the patent to be pending/filed before starting a discussion?
until your patent gets accepted (at least as pending), it's nothing. you migh just be trying to patent something already patented or that's not patentable. of course, you believe not, but we can't get any evidence. there is a process here, and it's for a good reason.
also, patents are local while open source projects are global.
your patent may be accepted in the US, this doesn't mean it is valid elsewhere (in particular, japan and israel are "exceptional").
SA, as an open source project, should stay far from all these legal/political things. (Not to talk about anti-patent people who can't just find any patent that ever helped this world get any better... but let's not disgress).
You have the full right to believe that you found _the_ solution. Unfortunately for you, you aren't the first one. did you read the FUSSP doc at
http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/you-might-be.html
you might also wanna check the litterature about "text categorization", "information retrieval", ...
You might be a genius, but the probability of someone being a genius is ridiculously low (except from his viewpoint and that of his family/friends/... but that's called auto-whitelistring:-). so please give us the right to doubt.
tell you what? I am writing a paper that will provide a mathematical proof that no method can get 0% FP and 0% FN, and more, that any method can only get "better" at some expenses. (no, I can't give you any infos unless it is finished:-)
Anyway, if you believe in your solution, implement it as a proxy so that all projects can use it. and good luck.
as to the nfw reports, please keep'em for marketers and investors. everybody knows what benchmarketing is. An inferior system that is tuned for a test situation will always outperform a superior system used out of the box.
to shorten the matters:
- I don't believe your solution is good (not because I hate your firstname or your domain, but because I have no idea what it really is).
- I personally don't wanna see anything commercial directly implemented inside SA, unless it can be used according to SA license (we already have enough licenses to read). I understand that you might not make a life out of that, but fortunately for me, that would be your life. I only care of mine (I'm kidding of course, I'll love to help but only if I feel I can).
anyway, good luck.
regards, mouss
