    摘要: Decision trees populated with classifier models are leveraged to provide enhanced spam detection utilizing separate email classifiers for each feature of an email. This provides a higher probability of spam detection through tailoring of each classifier model to facilitate in more accurately determining spam on a feature-by-feature basis. Classifiers can be constructed based on linear models such as, for example, logistic-regression models and/or support vector machines (SVM) and the like. The classifiers can also be constructed based on decision trees. “Compound features” based on internal and/or external nodes of a decision tree can be utilized to provide linear classifier models as well. Smoothing of the spam detection results can be achieved by utilizing classifier models from other nodes within the decision tree if training data is sparse. This forms a base model for branches of a decision tree that may not have received substantial training data.

    摘要: A dependency network is created from a training data set utilizing a scalable method. A statistical model (or pattern), such as for example a Bayesian network, is then constructed to allow more convenient inferencing. The model (or pattern) is employed in lieu of the training data set for data access. The computational complexity of the method that produces the model (or pattern) is independent of the size of the original data set. The dependency network directly returns explicitly encoded data in the conditional probability distributions of the dependency network. Non-explicitly encoded data is generated via Gibbs sampling, approximated, or ignored.

    摘要: Architecture for detecting and removing obfuscating clutter from the subject and/or body of a message, e.g., e-mail, prior to filtering of the message, to identify junk messages commonly referred to as spam. The technique utilizes the powerful features built into an HTML rendering engine to strip the HTML instructions for all non-substantive aspects of the message. Pre-processing includes pre-rendering of the message into a final format, which final format is that which is displayed by the rendering engine to the user. The final format message is then converted to a text-only format to remove graphics, color, non-text decoration, and spacing that cannot be rendered as ASCII-style or Unicode-style characters. The result is essentially to reduce each message to its common denominator essentials so that the junk mail filter can view each message on an equal basis.

    摘要: The invention relates to a system for filtering messages—the system includes a seed filter having associated therewith a false positive rate and a false negative rate. A new filter is also provided for filtering the messages, the new filter is evaluated according to the false positive rate and the false negative rate of the seed filter, the data used to determine the false positive rate and the false negative rate of the seed filter are utilized to determine a new false positive rate and a new false negative rate of the new filter as a function of threshold. The new filter is employed in lieu of the seed filter if a threshold exists for the new filter such that the new false positive rate and new false negative rate are together considered better than the false positive and the false negative rate of the seed filter.

    摘要: The subject invention provides for a feedback loop system and method that facilitate classifying items in connection with spam prevention in server and/or client-based architectures. The invention makes uses of a machine-learning approach as applied to spam filters, and in particular, randomly samples incoming email messages so that examples of both legitimate and junk/spam mail are obtained to generate sets of training data. Users which are identified as spam-fighters are asked to vote on whether a selection of their incoming email messages is individually either legitimate mail or junk mail. A database stores the properties for each mail and voting transaction such as user information, message properties and content summary, and polling results for each message to generate training data for machine learning systems. The machine learning systems facilitate creating improved spam filter(s) that are trained to recognize both legitimate mail and spam mail and to distinguish between them.
