First, Fortune Magazine, now the BBC wants to interview me regarding StupidFilter. More information as soon as I’ve got the interview set up.

Crazy.

Done:

• Now have a pretty huge MySQL database full of stupid comments, mostly from Youtube225441 rows in set (1.21 sec)
• Implemented a web-based comment ranking system to seed the stupidity corpus
• Tracking moderator history, comment rankings, dropping spam and unusable comments
• Recruited the celebrated Paul Starr, incomparable Jess, esteemed Sparky, lovely wife Lexi, and [your name here, apply within] to serve as Moderators Extraordinaire

To-Do:

• Hit a minimum of 2,000 usable comments ranked
• Train Bayesian classifier on seed corpus
• Fine-tune filter, begin self-training database using seed data
• Test filter on real world data, tune filter, rinse, repeat
• Implement a web front end for the Bayesian classifier for demonstration purposes
