Experiment setting

Selected online corpus: enron

Removing html tags Factoring important headers

Six folders from enron1 to enron6. Contain totally 13496 spam mails &

15045 ham mails

Feature Extration

1. Transmitted Time of the Mail2. Number of the Receiver3. Existence of Attachment4. Existence of images in mail5. Existence of Cited URLs in mail6. Symbols in Mail Title7. Mail-body

Transmitted Time of the Mail& Number of the Receiver

Spam: Non-uniform Distribution

Spam:Only Single Receiver

Mail-body Build the internal structure of words Use a good NLP tool called Treetagger

to help us do word stemming Given the stemmed words appeared

in each mail, we build a sparse format vector to represent the “semantic” of a mail

Naïve BayesGiven a bag of words (x1, x2, x3,…,xn), Naïve Bayes is powerful for document classification. ( , )

Vector Space ModelCreate a word-document (mail) matrix by SRILM.

For every mail (column) pair, a similarity value can be calculated.

KNN (Vector Space Model)

As K = 1, the KNN classification model show the best accuracy.

Maximum Entropy Maximize the entropy and minimize the Kullback-Leiber distance between model and the real distribution.

The elements in word-document matrix are modified to the binary value {0, 1}.

SVMBinary : Select binary value {0,1} to represent that this word appears or notNormalized : Count the occurrence of each word and divide them by their maximum occurrence counts.

Committee-based Hybrid-model The voting model averages the classification result, promoting the ability of the filter slightly. However, sometimes voting might reduce the accuracy because of misjudgments of majority.
