Performance Analysis of E-Mail Spam Classification using different Machine Learning Techniques

Most of the business and general communication is done through email because of its cost effectiveness. This efficiency leads email exposed to various attacks including spamming. Nowadays spam email is the foremost concern for email users. These spams are used for sending fake proposals, advertisements, and harmful contents in the form of executable file to attack user systems or the link to the malicious websites resulting in the unessential consumption of network bandwidth. This paper elucidates the different Machine Learning Techniques such as J48 classifier, Adaboost, K-Nearest Neighbor, Naive Bayes, Artificial Neural Network, Support Vector Machine, and Random Forests algorithm for filtering spam emails using different email dataset. However, here the comparison of different spam email classification technique is presented and summarizes the overall scenario regarding accuracy rate of different existing approaches.
