An evaluation of Naive Bayes variants in content-based learning for spam filtering
We describe an in-depth analysis of spam-filtering performance of a simple Naive Bayes learner and two current variants. A set of seven mailboxes comprising about 65,000 mails from seven different users, as well as a representative snapshot of 25,000 mails which were received over 18 weeks by a single user, were used for evaluation. Our main motivation was to test whether two variants of Naive ...
متن کاملSpam Filtering with Naive Bayes - Which Naive Bayes?
Naive Bayes is very popular in commercial and open-source anti-spam e-mail filters. There are, however, several forms of Naive Bayes, something the anti-spam literature does not always acknowledge. We discuss five different versions of Naive Bayes, and compare them on six new, non-encoded datasets, that contain ham messages of particular Enron users and fresh spam messages. The new datasets, wh...
متن کاملNaive Bayes Spam Filtering Using Word-Position-Based Attributes
This paper explores the use of the naive Bayes classifier as the basis for personalised spam filters. Several machine learning algorithms, including variants of naive Bayes, have previously been used for this purpose, but the author’s implementation using wordposition-based attribute vectors gave very good results when tested on several publicly available corpora. The effects of various forms o...
متن کاملAdaptive Spam Filtering Using Only Naive Bayes Text Classifiers
In the past few years, machine learning and in particular simple Naive Bayes classifiers have proven their value in filtering spam emails. We hereby put Naive Bayes filters to the test, against potentially more elaborate spam filters that will participate in the ceas 2008 challenge. For this purpose, we use the variants of Naive Bayes that have proven more effective in our earlier studies. Furt...
