INTRODUCTION
• Spam constitutes 55% of all emails, posing a significant challenge to communication.
• It inundates mailboxes with unwanted advertisements and junk, consuming users' time and
risking the deletion of legitimate emails.
• Economic impacts have led to legislative measures in some countries.
• Text classification, essential for organizing and categorizing text, distinguishes between spam
and legitimate messages.
• Machine learning automates this process efficiently by learning associations from pre-labeled
data.
• Feature extraction transforms text into numerical representations, aiding in accurate
classification.
• ML techniques enhance precision and speed in analyzing big data, crucial for informing
business decisions and automating processes.
• This project employs machine learning to detect spam messages without explicit
programming.
• Algorithms learn classification rules from pre-labeled data, predicting the category of
unknown texts based on majority vote.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
• Spammers are in continuous war with E-mail service providers. E-mail
service providers implement various spam filtering methods to retain
their users and spammers are continuous changing patterns using
various embedding tricks to get through filtering. These filters can
never be too aggressive because slight misclassification may lead to
important misinformation loss for consumer. A rigid filtering method
with additional reinforcements is needed to tackle the problem.
• To combat the ever-evolving tactics of spammers, email service
providers must continuously adapt their spam filtering strategies. By
implementing a combination of sophisticated techniques such as
content analysis, sender verification, and machine learning
algorithms, providers can effectively block unwanted messages while
allowing legitimate emails to reach their recipients.

DATA
DESCRIPTION:
Dataset : UCI SMS Spam Collection.
Source: Kaggle.
Description : A subset of 3,375 SMS randomly chosen ham messages of the NUS SMS
Corpus (NSC), which is a dataset of about 10,000 legitimate messages collected for
research at the NUS. The files contain one message per line. Each line is composed by two
columns: v1 contains the label (ham or spam) and v2 contains the raw text.

DATA
PROCESSING:
• Dataset
cleaning
• Dataset Merging
TEXTUAL DATA
PROCESSING:
• Tag Removal
• Sentencing,
tokenization
• Stop word removal
• Lemmatization
• Sentence formation
FEATURE VECTOR FORMATION :
• The texts are converted into feature vectors(numerical data) using the
words
present in all the texts combined.
• This process is done using count vectorization of NLTK library.
• The feature vectors can be formed using two language models Bag of Words
and Term Frequency-inverse Document Frequency.

BAG OF WORDS:
Bag of words is a language model used mainly in text classification. A bag of words
represents the text in a numerical form.
The two things required for Bag of Words are
• A vocabulary of words known to us.
• A way to measure the presence of words.
Ex: a few lines from the book “A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens.
“ It was the best of times,
it was the worst of times,
it was the age of wisdom,
it was the age of foolishness, ”
The unique words here (ignoring case and punctuation) are:
[ “it”, “was”, “the”, “best”, “of”, “times”, “worst”,“age”, “wisdom”, “foolishness” ]
The next step is scoring words present in every document

After scoring the four lines from the above stanza can be represented in vector form
as
“It was the best of times“ = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0]
"it was the worst of times" = [1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0]
"it was the age of wisdom" = [1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0]
"it was the age of foolishness"= [1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1]
Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency:
• Term frequency-inverse document frequency of a word is a measurement of the
importance of a word.
• It compares the repentance of words to the collection of documents and
calculates the score.
• Terminology for the below formulae:
t – term(word).
d – document.
N – count of documents.
The TF-IDF process consists of various activities listed below.

i) Term Frequency
• The count of appearance of a particular word in a document is called term
frequency.
𝒕𝒇(𝒕, 𝒅) = 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒅/ 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒅
ii) Document Frequency
• Document frequency is the count of documents the word was detected in. We
consider one instance of a word and it doesn’t matter if the word is present
multiple times.
𝒅𝒇(𝒕) = 𝒐𝒄𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒅𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔
iii) Inverse Document Frequency
• IDF (Inverse Document Frequency) is the inverse of document frequency.
• It evaluates the significance of a term by considering its informational
contribution.
• Common terms like "are," "if," and "a" provide minimal document insight.
• IDF diminishes the importance of frequently occurring terms and boosts rare ones.
𝒊𝒅𝒇(𝒕) = 𝑵/𝒅𝒇

Finally, the TF-IDF can be calculated by combining the term frequency and
inverse
document frequency.
𝒕𝒇_𝒊𝒅𝒇(𝒕, 𝒅) = 𝒕𝒇(𝒕, 𝒅) ∗ 𝐥𝐨 𝐠 (𝑵/(𝒅𝒇 + 𝟏))
The process can be explained using the following example:
“Document 1 It is going to rain today.
Document 2 Today I am not going outside.
Document 3 I am going to watch the season premiere.”
The Bag of words of the above sentences is
[going:3, to:2, today:2, i:2, am:2, it:1, is:1, rain:1]
• It combines term frequency (TF) and inverse document frequency (IDF).
• TF represents the frequency of a word in a document, while IDF evaluates its
significance across the collection.
• By assigning weights to words, TF-IDF aids in text mining, information retrieval,
and natural language processing.

Term Frequency:
Then finding the inverse document
frequency
Inverse Document Frequency :

Applying the final equation the values of tf-idf
becomes
Using the above two language models the complete data has been converted into two
kinds of vectors and stored into a csv type file for easy access and minimal
processing.

MACHINE LEARNING:
• Machine Learning is process in which the computer performs certain
tasks without giving instructions. In this case the models takes the
training data and train on them.
• Then depending on the trained data any new unknown data will be
processed based on the ruled derived from the trained data.
• After completing the count vectorization and TF-IDF stages in the
workflow the data is converted into vector form(numerical form) which is
used for training and testing models.
• For our study various machine learning models are compared to
determine which method is more suitable for this task.
• The models used for the study include Naïve Bayes, K Nearest
Neighbors, and Support Vector Machine.

ALGORITHM
S
A combination of 3 algorithms are used for the classifications.
NAÏVE BAYES CLASSIFIER
A naïve Bayes classifier is a supervised probabilistic machine learning model that is
used for classification tasks. The main principle behind this model is the Bayes
theorem.
Bayes Theorem: Naive Bayes is a classification technique that is based on Bayes’
Theorem with an assumption that all the features that predict the target value are
independent of each other. It calculates the probability of each class and then
picks the one with the highest probability.
P(A│B)=(P(B│A)P(A))/P(B).

P(A|B) is the probability of hypothesis A given the data B. This is called the posterior probability.
P(B|A) is the probability of data B given that hypothesis A was true.
P(A) is the probability of hypothesis A being true (regardless of the data). This is called the prior
probability of A.
P(B) is the probability of the data (regardless of the hypothesis)
Naïve Bayes classifiers are mostly used for
text classification. The limitation of the
Naïve Bayes model is that it treats every
word in a text as independent and is equal in
importance but every word cannot be
treated equally important because articles
and nouns are not the same when it comes
to language.

K-NEAREST
NEIGHBORS
• KNN is a classification algorithm. It comes under supervised algorithms. All the data
points are assumed to be in an n-dimensional space. And then based on neighbors
the category of current data is determined based on the majority.
• Euclidian distance is used to determine the distance between points.
The distance between 2 points is calculated
as
d=√(〖(x2-x1)〗^2+〖(y2-y1)〗^2 )

• The distances between the unknown point and all the others are calculated.
Depending on the K provided k closest neighbors are determined. The category to
which the majority of the neighbors belong is selected as the unknown data
category.
• If the data contains up to 3 features then the plot can be visualized. It is fairly slow
compared to other distance-based algorithms such as SVM as it needs to determine
the distance to all points to get the closest neighbors to the given point.
SUPPORT VECTOR
MACHINES(SVM)
It is a machine learning algorithm for classification. Decision boundaries are drawn
between various categories and based on which side the point falls to the boundary
the category is determined.

Support Vectors: The vectors closer to boundaries are called support vectors/planes.
If there are n categories then there will be n+1 support vectors. Instead of points, these
are called vectors because they are assumed to be starting from the origin. The
distance between the support vectors is called margin. We want our margin to be as
wide as possible because it yields better results.
There are three types of boundaries used by
SVM to create boundaries.
Linear: used if the data is linearly separable.
Poly: used if data is not separable. It creates
any data into 3-dimensional data.
Radial: This is the default kernel used in SVM.
It converts any data into infinite-dimensional
data.

• If the data is 2-dimensional then the boundaries are lines. If the data is 3-
dimensional then the boundaries are planes. If the data categories are more than 3
then boundaries are called hyperplanes.
• An SVM mainly depends on the decision boundaries for predictions. It doesn’t
compare the data to all other data to get the prediction due to this SVM’s tend to be
quick with predictions.
RESULTS MODEL
SELECTION
• While selecting the best language model the data has been converted into both
types of vectors and then the models been tested for to determine the best model
for classifying spam.
• The results from individual models are presented in the experimentation section
under methodology. Now comparing the results from the models.

Metric Model Accuracy Precision F1 Score
Naive Bayes 95.94% 100% 97.91%
KNN 90.04% 100% 94.92%
SVM 97.29% 97.41% 97.35%
• From the code it is clear that TF-IDF proves to be better than BoW in every model
tested. Hence TF-IDF has been selected as the primary language model for textual
data conversion in feature vector formation.
COMPARISO
N
The results from the proposed model has been compared with all the models
individually in tabular form to illustrate the differences clearly.

SUMMAR
Y
• There are two main tasks in the project implementation. Language model selection
for completing the textual processing phase and proposed model creation using the
individual algorithms. These two tasks require comparison from other models and
select of various parameters for better efficiency.
• During the language model selection phase two models, Bag of Words and TF-IDF
are compared to select the best model and from the results obtained it is evident
that TF-IDF performs better.
CONCLUSION AND FUTURE
SCOPE
Conclusion:
From the results obtained we can conclude that an ensemble machine learning
model is more effective in detection and classification of spam than any
individual
algorithms.

We can also conclude that TF-IDF (term frequency inverse document
frequency) language model is more effective than Bag of words model in
classification of spam when combined with several algorithms. And finally we can say
that spam
detection can get better if machine learning algorithms are combined and tuned to
needs.
Project Scope
This project needs a coordinated scope of work.
i. Combine existing machine learning algorithms to form a better ensemble
algorithm.
ii. Clean, processing and make use of the dataset for training and testing the
model
created.
iii. Analyse the texts and extract entities for presentation.

Limitations
This Project has certain limitations.
i. This can only predict and classify spam but not block it.
ii. Analysis can be tricky for some alphanumeric messages and it may struggle
with
entity detection.
iii. Since the data is reasonably large it may take a few seconds to classify and
anlayse the message
