• Importance of Spam Detection
• - Protects users from phishing, malware, and
unwanted content
• - Enhances user experience by keeping
inboxes clean
Types of Spam Mail
• Commercial Spam
• - Advertising products or services
• Phishing Scams
• - Fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive
information
• Malware Distribution
• - Emails containing harmful software
Traditional Spam Detection
Methods
• Rule-based Filters
• - Simple but can be easily circumvented
• Blacklists
• - List of known spam sources
• Limitations
• - High maintenance, low adaptability
Introduction to Machine Learning

• - Algorithms that learn from and make
predictions on data
• Why Machine Learning for Spam Detection?
• - Adaptable, improves over time, can handle
large datasets
Machine Learning Algorithms for
Spam Detection
• Supervised Learning
• - Algorithms learn from labeled data (e.g.,
spam vs. non-spam)
• Popular Algorithms
• - Naive Bayes
• - Support Vector Machines (SVM)
• - Decision Trees
• - Neural Networks
Data Preprocessing
• Text Preprocessing Techniques
• - Tokenization
• - Stop Words Removal
• - Stemming/Lemmatization
• - Feature Extraction (e.g., TF-IDF)
• Dataset Example
• - Show sample email data before and after
preprocessing
Model Training and Evaluation
