simplebayes

A memory-based, optional-persistence naïve bayesian text classifier.

This work is heavily inspired by the python "redisbayes" module found here:
[https://github.com/jart/redisbayes] and [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/redisbayes]

I've elected to write this to alleviate the network/time requirements when
using the bayesian classifier to classify large sets of text, or when
attempting to train with very large sets of sample data.

Build Status

Installation

sudo pip install simplebayes

Basic Usage

import simplebayes
bayes = simplebayes.SimpleBayes()

bayes.train('good', 'sunshine drugs love sex lobster sloth')
bayes.train('bad', 'fear death horror government zombie')

assert bayes.classify('sloths are so cute i love them') == 'good'
assert bayes.classify('i would fear a zombie and love the government') == 'bad'

print bayes.score('i fear zombies and love the government')

bayes.untrain('bad', 'fear death')

assert bayes.tally('bad') == 3

Cache Usage

import simplebayes
bayes = simplebayes.SimpleBayes(cache_path='/my/cache/')
# Cache file is '/my/cache/_simplebayes.pickle'
# Default cache_path is '/tmp/'

if not bayes.cache_train():
    # Unable to load cache data, so we're training it
    bayes.train('good', 'sunshine drugs love sex lobster sloth')
    bayes.train('bad', 'fear death horror government zombie')

    # Saving the cache so next time the training won't be needed
    bayes.persist_cache()

Tokenizer Override

import simplebayes

def my_tokenizer(sample):
    return sample.split()

bayes = simplebayes.SimpleBayes(tokenizer=my_tokenizer)
