There are number of Anti-Spam filters that have reduced the amount of email spam in the inbox but the problem still continues as the spammers circumvent these techniques. The problems need to be addressed from different aspects. Major problem for instance arises when these anti-spam techniques misjudge or misclassify legitimate emails as spam (false positive); or fail to deliver or block spam on the SMTP server (false negative); thus causing a staggering cost in loss of time, effort and finance…

A Multi-layer Model to Detect Spam Email at Client Side

This paper proposes a multi-layer model that imposes, on top of SpamBayes, a second layer of non-textual filtering that exploits alternative machine learning techniques and improves the accuracy of classification and eliminates the grey email into spam and ham emails.

Email Classification Using Artificial Neural Network

A method for spam filtering using Artificial Neural Network to predict whether an email is spam or not is presented.

Using Fuzzy Logic for Email Spam Filtering

The approach described in this paper is to classify the spam mails according to degree of spam content using spam word ranking database and fuzzy rules.

A Hybrid E-Mail Spam Filtering Technique using Data Mining Approach

In the proposed work the traditionally available techniques of spam filtering are investigated and a new technique using hybrid methodology is presented, which incorporates the Bayesian classifier and the neural network.

An Intellect Learning on E-mail Security and Fraud, Spam and Phishing

In this intellect learning, the authors’ primary interest is to make a healthy charge on phishing, spam and email fraud towards the wealthy personal information and realm.

Identification of Function Points in Software Specifications Using Natural Language Processing. (Identification des points de fonction dans les spécifications logicielles à l'aide du traitement automatique des langues)

This research focuses on functional size estimation metrics commonly known as Function Point Analysis (FPA) that estimates the size of a software in terms of the functionalities it is expected to deliver from a user’s point of view.

An Empirical Study of Spam and Spam Vulnerable email Accounts

This study collected 400 thousand spam mails from a spam trap set up in a corporate mail server for a period of 14 months form January 2006 to February 2007 and classified spam based on attachment and contents.

Spam filtering using spam mail communities

The new approach does not base itself on any prejudices about spam and can be used to block nonspam nuisance mails also and support users who would want selective blocking of spam mails based on their interests.
