The Contribution of Stylistic Information to Content-based Mobile Spam Filtering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Content-based approaches to detecting mobile spam to date have focused mainly on analyzing the topical aspect of a SMS message (what it is about) but not on the stylistic aspect (how it is written). In this paper, as a preliminary step, we investigate the utility of commonly used stylistic features based on shallow linguistic analysis for learning mobile spam filters. Experimental results show that the use of stylistic information is potentially effective for enhancing the performance of the mobile spam filters.

Spam messages are an increasing threat to mobile communication. Several mitigation techniques have been proposed, including white and black listing, challenge-response and content-based filtering. However, none are perfect and it makes sense to use a combination rather than just one. We propose an anti-spam framework based on the hybrid of contentbased filtering and challenge-response. A messag...

متن کاملOptimization of Anti-Spam Systems with Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms
In this paper anti-spam filtering is presented as a cumbersome service, as opposed to a software product perspective. The huge human effort for setting up, adaptation, maintenance, and tuning of filters for spam detection in anti-spam systems is explained. Choosing the best importance scores for the spam filters is essential for the accuracy of any rules based anti-spam system, and is also one ...
