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
