> I thought it would be nice to have a Naive Bayesian classifier in OpenNLP (it
> lacks one at present).
> Implementation details: We have a production-hardened piece of Java code for
> a multinomial Naive Bayesian classifier (with default Laplace smoothing) that
> we'd like to contribute. The code is Java 1.5 compatible. I'd have to write
> an adapter to make the interface compatible with the ME classifier in
> OpenNLP. I expect the patch to be available 1 to 3 weeks from now.
> Below is the email trail of a discussion in the dev mailing list around this
> dated May 19th, 2015.

> Hi Cohan,
> I think that'd be a very valuable contribution, as NB is one of the
> foundation algorithms, often used as basis for comparisons.
> It would be good if you could create a Jira issue and provide more details
> about the implementation and, eventually, a patch.
> Thanks and regards,

> > I have a question for the OpenNLP project team.
> >
> > I was wondering if there is a Naive Bayesian classifier implementation in
> > OpenNLP that I've not come across, or if there are plans to implement one.
> >
> > If it is the latter, I should love to contribute an implementation.
> >
> > There is an ME classifier already available in OpenNLP, of course, but I
> > felt that there was an unmet need for a Naive Bayesian (NB) classifier
> > implementation to be offered as well.
> >
> > An NB classifier could be bootstrapped up with partially labelled training
> > data as explained in the Nigam, McCallum, et al paper of 2000 "Text
> > Classification from Labeled and Unlabeled Documents using EM".
> >
> > So, if there isn't an NB code base out there already, I'd be happy to
> > contribute a very solid implementation that we've used in production for a
> > good 5 years.
> >
> > I'd have to adapt it to load the same training data format as the ME
> > classifier, but I guess that shouldn't be very difficult to do.
> >
> > I was wondering if there was some interest in adding an NB implementation
> > and I'd love to know who could I coordinate with if there is?
