A Classification Method for E-mail Spam Using a Hybrid Approach for Feature Selection Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Spam is an unwanted email that is harmful to communications around the world. Spam leads to a growing problem in a personal email, so it would be essential to detect it. Machine learning is very useful to solve this problem as it shows good results in order to learn all the requisite patterns for classification due to its adaptive existence. Nonetheless, in spam detection, there are a large number of features to attend as they play an essential role in detection efficiency. In this article, we're working on a feature selection method to e-mail spam. This approach is considered a hybrid of optimization algorithms and classifiers in machine learning. Binary Whale Optimization (BWO) and Binary Grey Wolf Optimization (BGWO) algorithms are used for feature selection and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Fuzzy K-Nearest Neighbor (FKNN) algorithms are applied as the classifiers in this research. The proposed method is tested on the "SPAMBASE" datasets from UCI Machine learning Repesotries and the experimental results revealed the highest accuracy of 97.61% on this dataset. The obtained results indicateed that the proposed method is suitable and capable to provide excellent performance in comparison with other methods.

Spam is commonly defined as unwanted e-mails and it became a global threat against e-mail users. Although, Support Vector Machine (SVM) has been commonly used in e-mail spam classification, yet the problem of high data dimensionality of the feature space due to the massive number of e-mail dataset and features still exist. To improve the limitation of SVM, reduce the computational complexity (e...

In this paper, a novel filter-based approach is proposed using the PageRank algorithm to select the optimal subset of features as well as to compute their weights for web page classification. To evaluate the proposed approach multiple experiments are performed using accuracy score as the main criterion on four different datasets, namely WebKB, Reuters-R8, Reuters-R52, and 20NewsGroups. By analy...
