A fast implementation of the naive Bayes classification algorithm. Written in C++ with an interface for Ruby using Rice.
Performs text classification with no separate training step needed, the cost of training is split between classification and observation. This is especially useful when data is an online stream, as the system can gradually improve.
FastBayes supports any number of classes and they don't need to be added in advance.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'fast_bayes'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install fast_bayes
[1] pry(main)> require 'fast_bayes'
=> true
[2] pry(main)> b = FastBayes.new
=> #<FastBayes:0x00000002cb5d98>
[3] pry(main)> b.observe "This sentence is good", "Good"
=> nil
[4] pry(main)> b.observe "This sentence is bad", "Bad"
=> nil
[5] pry(main)> b.classify "good stuff"
=> "Good"
