An Efficient SVM-Based Spam Filtering Algorithm

The electronic mail (e-mail) concept makes it possible to communicate with many people in an easy and cheap way. Though email brought us such huge convenience, it also caused us trouble of managing the large quantities of spam mails received everyday. Without appropriate counter-measures, the situation seems to be worsening and spare email will eventually undermine the usability of email. To efficiently solve the above problems, a spam mail filtering method using feature selection and support vector machine is proposed in this paper. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other conventional spam filtering method
