Hello Evan, > What frameworks are there available for doing pattern classification? > ... Two Bayesian classifiers are SpamBayes (http://spambayes.sf.net) and Reverend Thomas (http://www.divmod.org/projects/reverend). IMO the latter will be easier to play with.

A good book about NLP is http://nlp.stanford.edu/fsnlp/ which have a chapter about text classification. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tom/mlbook.html has some good coverage on the subject as well.
