About:
dbacl is a Bayesian text classifier designed for email filtering and document categorization. It analyzes text using n-gram statistics to calculate the probability that a given document belongs to a specific category. This tool provides a robust, statistical approach to unsupervised learning and spam detection directly from the command line.
Key Features:
  • Bayesian classification using n-gram statistics
  • Fast processing optimized for large text corpora
  • Unsupervised learning for document clustering
  • Command-line interface for scripting and automation
Use Cases:
  • Filtering spam from email streams
  • Categorizing news articles or documents
  • Detecting language or authorship patterns
Alternatives:
  • bogofilter – Bogofilter is a similar Bayesian spam filter, but dbacl is designed to be more general-purpose for text categorization beyond just email.
  • spamassassin – SpamAssassin uses a broader set of heuristic rules and plugins, whereas dbacl relies strictly on statistical Bayesian analysis.
