A New Model for Email Spam Detection using Hybrid of Magnetic Optimization Algorithm with Harmony Search Algorithm

Authors

Abstract:

Unfortunately, among internet services, users are faced with several unwanted messages that are not even related to their interests and scope, and they contain advertising or even malicious content. Spam email contains a huge collection of infected and malicious advertising emails that harms data destroying and stealing personal information for malicious purposes. In most cases, spam emails contain malware that is usually sent to users in the form of scripts or attachments, and the user infects the computer with malware by downloading and executing the attached file. In this paper, a new model for detecting spam e-mail is proposed based on the hybrid of the Harmony Search Algorithm (HAS) with the Magnetic Optimization Algorithm (MOA). The proposed model is used to select the effective features and then the classification is performed using the K Nearest Neighbor's (KNN) algorithm. In the proposed model, using the MOA was found the best features for the HSA, and the harmony matrix is formed based on them. Then the HSA changes based on the update and rate of step-change in each step of the harmony vectors so that the best vector is selected as the vector of characteristics among them. The results show that the accuracy of the proposed model on the Spam base dataset with 200 iterations is 94.17% and also the accuracy of the diagnostic model of the proposed model is more than other models.

A New Hybrid Approach of K-Nearest Neighbors Algorithm with Particle Swarm Optimization for E-Mail Spam Detection

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...

Detection of Spam Email by Combining Harmony Search Algorithm and Decision Tree

Spam emails is probable the main problem faced by most e-mail users. There are many features in spam email detection and some of these features have little effect on detection and cause skew detection and classification of spam email. Thus, Feature Selection (FS) is one of the key topics in spam email detection systems. With choosing the important and effective features in classification, its p...

Intelligent application for Heart disease detection using Hybrid Optimization algorithm

Prediction of heart disease is very important because it is one of the causes of death around the world. Moreover, heart disease prediction in the early stage plays a main role in the treatment and recovery disease and reduces costs of diagnosis disease and side effects it. Machine learning algorithms are able to identify an effective pattern for diagnosis and treatment of the disease and ident...

IIR System Identification Using Improved Harmony Search Algorithm with Chaos

Due to the fact that the error surface of adaptive infinite impulse response (IIR) systems is generally nonlinear and multimodal, the conventional derivative based techniques fail when used in adaptive identification of such systems. In this case, global optimization techniques are required in order to avoid the local minima. Harmony search (HS), a musical inspired metaheuristic, is a recently ...

DISCRETE SIZE AND DISCRETE-CONTINUOUS CONFIGURATION OPTIMIZATION METHODS FOR TRUSS STRUCTURES USING THE HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM

Many methods have been developed for structural size and configuration optimization in which cross-sectional areas are usually assumed to be continuous. In most practical structural engineering design problems, however, the design variables are discrete. This paper proposes two efficient structural optimization methods based on the harmony search (HS) heuristic algorithm that treat both discret...
