Spam Filtering based on Character Field

Hui Liu, Caiming Zhang · 2007

A novel method for SPAM filtering is proposed based on the information of character fields and the term frequency in the character fields. The technique used in this method is discussed, which includes selecting the characters of e-mail documents, constructing the character term lexicons via calculation of weights about term frequency (TF). In addition, an improved probabilistic model of computation for text similarity is provided. Experiments show that the new method works better than traditional Rocchio method in terms of recall, precision and some other evaluation targets.
