IEEE BASE PAPER TITLE:


Investigating Evasive Techniques in SMS Spam Filtering: A
Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Models

IEEE BASE PAPER ABSTRACT:

The persistence of SMS spam remains a significant challenge, highlighting the


need for research aimed at developing systems capable of effectively handling the
evasive strategies used by spammers. Such research efforts are important for
safeguarding the general public from the detrimental impact of SMS spam. In this
study, we aim to highlight the challenges encountered in the current landscape of
SMS spam detection and filtering. To address these challenges, we present a new
SMS dataset comprising more than 68K SMS messages with 61% legitimate (ham)
SMS and 39% spam messages. Notably, this dataset, we release for further
research, represents the largest publicly available SMS spam dataset to date. To
characterize the dataset, we perform a longitudinal analysis of spam evolution. We
then extract semantic and syntactic features to evaluate and compare the
performance of well-known machine learning based SMS spam detection methods,
ranging from shallow machine learning approaches to advanced deep neural
networks. We investigate the robustness of existing SMS spam detection models
and popular anti-spam services against spammers’ evasion techniques. Our
findings reveal that the majority of shallow machine learning based techniques and

anti-spam services exhibit inadequate performance when it comes to accurately
classifying SMS spam messages. We observe that all of the machine learning
approaches and anti-spam services are susceptible to various evasive strategies
employed by spammers. To address the identified limitations, our study advocates
for researchers to delve into these areas to advance the field of SMS spam
detection and anti-spam services.

OUR PROPOSED PROJECT ABSTRACT:

The project "SMS Spam Detection using Machine Learning" addresses the
challenge of identifying spam messages in SMS communication by leveraging
advanced machine learning techniques. Implemented using Python for backend
processing and integrated with a user-friendly frontend crafted in HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript, this web application utilizes the Flask framework to ensure a seamless
and responsive user experience.

The core of this project involves the development and deployment of two distinct
machine learning models to classify SMS messages as either spam or ham (non-
spam). The first model employs a Support Vector Classifier (SVC), which
achieved an impressive training accuracy of 99.2% and a test accuracy of 98.30%.
This high level of precision underscores the model's robustness and reliability in
distinguishing between spam and legitimate messages.

In parallel, a CatBoost classifier, which is based on gradient boosting, was also


developed and evaluated. This model demonstrated a training accuracy of 97.76%
and a test accuracy of 97.19%, showcasing its effectiveness and efficiency in
handling the classification task with a marginally lower, yet still commendable,
performance compared to the SVC.

The dataset used for training and evaluation comprises 67,010 instances with two
attributes, one of which is the target attribute for classification. The substantial size
of the dataset ensures the models are well-trained and capable of generalizing
effectively to new, unseen data.

Overall, the project exemplifies the application of cutting-edge machine learning


methodologies in solving real-world problems, providing a robust tool for SMS
spam detection. The integration with a modern web framework ensures
accessibility and ease of use, making it a valuable resource for individuals and
organizations aiming to filter and manage SMS communications effectively.
