Seung-Shik Kang · Journal of Korea Multimedia Society · 2006
It is common that a junk mail has an inconsistency of mail addresses between those of the mail headers and the mail recipients. In addition, users easily know that an email is a junk or legitimate mail only by looking for the title of the email. In this paper, we tried to apply the filtering classifiers of mail address validation check and the combination method of title-content weighting to improve the performance of junk mail filtering system. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we performed an experiment by applying them to Naive Bayesian classifier. The experiment includes the unit testing and the combination of the filtering techniques. As a result, we found that our method improved 11.6% of recall and 2.1% of precision that it contributed the enhancement of the junk mail filtering system.
