MailChimp's Project Omnivore: Declassified | MailChimp Email Marketing Blog

choonkeat about 1 year ago

After we knew our algorithm was pretty close to what we wanted, we converted the process to a giant Hadoop Map/Reduce program running on a cluster of Amazon EC2 servers for about 20 days to get the final results for the first version. Smaller optimization processes still run continuously to test new ideas and refine the model.

Unlike static rules or blacklist-based methods of detecting spam, all of the major Omnivore systems are learning algorithms that keep up with changing user behavior without losing their predictive power.
