That would be great Matt.I've done a lot on bayes for spam (I had an effective bayesian filter before Paul Graham wrote his article on the subject), but there's not much in it for a full talk. Maybe a lightning talk. Hmm...
Funny how Paul Graham has become so synonymous with Bayesian probabilities isn't it? Your work preceeds his, Google "Page Rank" apparently uses Bayesians (pre-Graham) and, here in the UK, Autonomy (http://www.autonomy.com/) have been doing ground-breaking work for a few years now with Bayesians at the core of their technology. Despite this, Paul Graham is the first person people think of when you start to talk Bayesians, I wonder why?
