Current implementation, after latest fixes/improvements, works with incremental 
training, if just one item is added to the training set the model is trained 
incrementally but the whole file must be rewritten,
there is no way to save the model to a different structure other then a file 
atm.'
I have the plugin in production with few thousands mailboxes and it looks 
promising even if it needs a bit to train, maybe neuralnetwork_min_spam_count 
and neuralnetwork_min_ham_count default values are too low.
I will verify accuracy improvements of the model and tweaks default values if 
needed.

I haven't had time to play with this plugin, but my understanding of this type 
of NN is that it doesn't work well with incremental training. Meaning that if 
just one item is added to the training set, the whole learning process needs to 
be re-run. Otherwise the model adjusts it's weights to match the new sample at 
the expense of all previous samples. I'm just wondering if you've run into this 
and if you have any preliminary accuracy statistics from this plugin.

    Hi,
    I've just committed to my Github repo the first version of a SpamAssassin 
plugin that uses Neural Networks to detect spam messages.
    Code is available at https://github.com/bigio/spamassassin-NeuralNetwork 
<https://github.com/bigio/spamassassin-NeuralNetwork> , if the community is 
interested I can work on merging it to the Apache SpamAssassin src tree.
    Testers are always welcome.
    Cheers
    Giovanni
