There are many new theoretical techniques
for detecting spam e-mail based
upon the message contents. Although
Bayesian methods are the most wellknown,
there are other approaches for
classifying information. This paper establishes
some criteria for measuring
spam filter effectiveness and compares the
Boosting and Support Vector Machine
approaches with some well-known existing
filter software. It also examines ways
of transforming e-mail messages into a
form which is more readily processable by
such algorithms.
