Spam Classification Using Nearest Neighbour Techniques
نویسنده
چکیده
Spam mail classification and filtering is a commonly investigated problem, yet there has been little research into the application of nearest neighbour classifiers in this field. This paper examines the possibility of using a nearest neighbour algorithm for simple, word based spam mail classification. This approach is compared to a neural network, and decision-tree along with results published in another conference paper on the subject.

متن کاملGenerating Estimates of Classification Confidence for a Case-Based Spam Filter
Producing estimates of classification confidence is surprisingly difficult. One might expect that classifiers that can produce numeric classification scores (e.g. k-Nearest Neighbour or Naive Bayes) could readily produce confidence estimates based on thresholds. In fact, this proves not to be the case, probably because these are not probabilistic classifiers in the strict sense. The numeric sco...

متن کاملInstance-Based Spam Filtering Using SVM Nearest Neighbor Classifier
In this paper we evaluate an instance-based spam filter based on the SVM nearest neighbor (SVM-NN) classifier, which combines the ideas of SVM and k-nearest neighbor. To label a message the classifier first finds k nearest labeled messages, and then an SVM model is trained on these k samples and used to label the unknown sample. Here we present preliminary results of the comparison of SVM-NN wi...
متن کاملA Classification Method for E-mail Spam Using a Hybrid Approach for Feature Selection Optimization
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 num...
