Adaptable Text Filters and Unsupervised Neural Classifiers for Spam Detection

چکیده
Spam detection has become a necessity for successful email communications, security and convenience. This paper describes a learning process where the text of incoming emails is analysed and filtered based on the salient features identified. The method described has promising results and at the same time significantly better performance than other statistical and probabilistic methods. The salient features of emails are selected automatically based on functions combining word frequency and other discriminating matrices, and emails are then encoded into a representative vector model. Several classifiers are then used for identifying spam, and self-organising maps seem to give significantly better results.

Emails are one of the fastest economic communications. Increasing email users has caused the increase of spam in recent years. As we know, spam not only damages user’s profits, time-consuming and bandwidth, but also has become as a risk to efficiency, reliability, and security of a network. Spam developers are always trying to find ways to escape the existing filters therefore new filters to de...
متن کاملTrends in Combating Image Spam E-mails
With the rapid adoption of Internet as an easy way to communicate, the amount of unsolicited e-mails, known as spam e-mails, has been growing rapidly. The major problem of spam e-mails is the loss of productivity and a drain on IT resources. Today, we receive spam more rapidly than the legitimate e-mails. Initially, spam e-mails contained only textual messages which were easily detected by the ...
متن کاملStacking Classifiers for Anti-Spam Filtering of E-Mail
We evaluate empirically a scheme for combining classifiers, known as stacked generalization, in the context of anti-spam filtering, a novel cost-sensitive application of text categorization. Unsolicited commercial email, or “spam”, floods mailboxes, causing frustration, wasting bandwidth, and exposing minors to unsuitable content. Using a public corpus, we show that stacking can improve the eff...
