Email Shape Analysis

چکیده
Email has become an integral part of everyday life. Without a second thought we receive bills, bank statements, and sales promotions all to our inbox. Each email has hidden features that can be extracted. In this paper, we present a new mechanism to characterize an email without using content or context called Email Shape Analysis. We explore the applications of the email shape by carrying out a case study; botnet detection and two possible applications: spam filtering, and social-context based finger printing. Our in-depth analysis of botnet detection leads to very high accuracy of tracing templates and spam campaigns. However, when it comes to spam filtering we do not propose new method but rather a complementing method to the already high accuracy Bayesian spam filter. We also look at its ability to classify individual senders in personal email inbox’s.

متن کاملSpam filtering by quantitative profiles
Instead of the “bag-of-words” representation, in the quantitative profile approach to spam filtering and email categorization, an email is represented by an mdimensional vector of numbers, with m fixed in advance. Inspired by email shape analysis proposed recently by Sroufe et al., two instances of quantitative profiles are considered: line profile and character profile. Performance of these pr...
متن کاملDamage identification of structures using experimental modal analysis and continuous wavelet transform
Abstract: Modal analysis is a powerful technique for understanding the behavior and performance of structures. Modal analysis can be conducted via artificial excitation, e.g. shaker or instrument hammer excitation. Input force and output responses are measured. That is normally referred to as experimental modal analysis (EMA). EMA consists of three steps: data acquisition, system identificatio...
متن کاملStructured Ontology and IR for Email Search & Discovery
This paper discusses an email discovery and information retrieval tool based on formal concept analysis. The program allows users to navigate email using a visual lattice metaphor rather than a tree. It implements a virtual file structure over email where files and entire directories can appear in multiple positions in a given view. The content and shape of the lattice formed by the conceptual ...
