whitepaper Measuring Campaign Performance by Using Cumulative Gain and Lift Chart2009-02-27 SAS Institute
  The primary goal of a Direct Mail marketing (DM) campaign is to send mailers to group of customers who are likely to respond. To determine the likely responders for the offer, it is a common practice to build predictive models based on past experience, using historical data. It is not unusual to evaluate the campaign performance by comparing the results with the model. In this study, lift charts and cumulative gains have been used to measure the effectiveness of several marketing campaigns for telecom strategic products.

whitepaper SpamBlocker: Combining NLP and Genetic Algorithms to Improve Spam Defence Efficiency2009-02-23 Universidad Carlos III Madrid
  The problem of differentiating solicited email from spam email for millions of email users worldwide has still not been fully solved, in part due to variation in user preferences and idiosyncratic language use. Many anti-spam systems treat email text as generic and are inadaptable to individual user preferences. This paper presents an anti-spam solution which combines two computational techniques for an algorithm which applies a two-step filtering process: keyword extraction and a genetic algorithm to build a spam filter system for filtration based on user word profiles. The algorithm has been tested on a text classification task, preliminary results indicating higher performance than one-layer classification systems. It is aimed to implement the system as an email plug-in for Microsoft Outlook.
