Filtering Spam by Using Factors Hyperbolic Trees | 2008-12-17 | Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers |
| Most of current anti-spam techniques, like the Bayesian anti-spam algorithm, primarily use lexical matching for filtering Unsolicited Bulk E-mails (UBE) and Unsolicited Commercial E-mails (UCE). However, precision of spam filtering is usually low when the lexical matching algorithms are used in real dynamic environments. For example, an E-mail of refrigerator advertisements is useful for most families, but it is useless for Eskimos. The lexical matching anti-spam algorithms cannot distinguish such processed E-mails that are junk to most people but are useful for others. The paper proposes Factors Hyperbolic Tree (FHT) based algorithm that, unlike the lexical matching algorithms, handles spam filtering in a dynamic environment by considering various relevant factors.

Support Vector Machines and Random Forests Modeling for Spam Senders Behavior Analysis | 2008-12-03 | Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers |
| Unwanted and malicious messages dominate Email traffic and pose a great threat to the utility of email communications. Reputation systems have been getting momentum as the solution. Such systems extract Email sender's behavior data based on global sending distribution, analyze them and assign a value of trust to each IP address sending email messages. This paper builds two models for the classification purpose. One is based on Support Vector Machines (SVM) and the other is Random Forests (RF). Experimental results show that either classifier is effective. RF is slightly more accurate, but more expensive in terms of both time and space. SVM produces similar accuracy in a much faster manner if given modeling parameters. These classifiers can contribute to a reputation system as one source of analysis and increase its accuracy.

Your Message on the Move: An Introduction to Mobile Marketing and Mobile Advertising | 2008-12-01 | |
| Remember when e-mail marketing was all the rage? It was marketing at its best. It cost close to nothing to send out an email. Plus, companies were able to gauge results of a campaign quickly by measuring open rates, click-throughs, bounced messages, and, most importantly, conversions. It didn't take long for the SPAM'ers to figure that one out, however. Suddenly, the mailboxes were all inundated with Viagra, Asian girls, and mysterious personal letters from princes in Nigeria. In total, 88% of the e-mail that reaches your computer is SPAM (Secure Computing). So, the United States government made it illegal for businesses to send e-mail messages to citizens, apparently forgetting that "www" stood for "Worldwide" web.
