Varying approaches including Support Vector Machine (SVM) techniques have been proposed for spam filter training and classification. However, SVM training is a computationally intensive process. This paper presents a MapReduce based parallel SVM algorithm for scalable spam filter training. By distributing, processing and optimizing the subsets of the training data across multiple participating computer nodes, the parallel SVM reduces the training time significantly. Ontology semantics are employed to minimize the impact of accuracy degradation when distributing the training data among a number of SVM classifiers. Experimental results show that ontology based augmentation improves the accuracy level of the parallel SVM beyond the original sequential counterpart
Email Classification Using Adaptive Ontologies Learning
Email is a way of communication for the today’s internet world, private and government sector or public sector all are used email for communication with their clients. They can freely send number of mail to their client without disturbing them. Now a day email communication is also a way of advertising, some mail is also spam, lots of social mails are there. Categorization and handling lots of email is an important task for the researches, as they all are working in this field by using the Natural language processing and ontology extraction process. User get frustrated for handling lots of mails and reading those for finding there is any important mail, sometime user delete lots of mail without reading and in that case may be some important mail which contain the important information may be about meeting, seminar etc. is also deleted. For avoiding these scenarios here auto updation of schedule calendar procedure is proposed by the author. Concept extraction and clustering of concept is done based on fuzzy logic, similar mail pattern is grouped in a same cluster if similarity is less than threshold value a new cluster is defined for that. From the extracted concept author establish the relationship between them and generate the result. Computation overhead is also calculated for different set of mails and finds that it takes very less time in computing large email data set

MapReduce based RDF assisted distributed SVM for high throughput spam filtering
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel UniversityElectronic mail has become cast and embedded in our everyday lives. Billions of legitimate emails are sent on a daily basis. The widely established underlying infrastructure, its widespread availability as well as its ease of use have all acted as catalysts to such pervasive proliferation. Unfortunately, the same can be alleged about unsolicited bulk email, or rather spam. Various methods, as well as enabling architectures are available to try to mitigate spam permeation. In this respect, this dissertation compliments existing survey work in this area by contributing an extensive literature review of traditional and emerging spam filtering approaches. Techniques, approaches and architectures employed for spam filtering are appraised, critically assessing respective strengths and weaknesses.
Velocity, volume and variety are key characteristics of the spam challenge. MapReduce (M/R) has become increasingly popular as an Internet scale, data intensive processing platform. In the context of machine learning based spam filter training, support vector machine (SVM) based techniques have been proven effective. SVM training is however a computationally intensive process. In this dissertation, a M/R based distributed SVM algorithm for scalable spam filter training, designated MRSMO, is presented. By distributing and processing subsets of the training data across multiple participating computing nodes, the distributed SVM reduces spam filter training time significantly. To mitigate the accuracy degradation introduced by the adopted approach, a Resource Description Framework (RDF) based feedback loop is evaluated. Experimental results demonstrate that this improves the accuracy levels of the distributed SVM beyond the original sequential counterpart.
Effectively exploiting large scale, ‘Cloud’ based, heterogeneous processing capabilities for M/R in what can be considered a non-deterministic environment requires the consideration of a number of perspectives. In this work, gSched, a Hadoop M/R based, heterogeneous aware task to node matching and allocation scheme is designed. Using MRSMO as a baseline, experimental evaluation indicates that gSched improves on the performance of the out-of-the box Hadoop counterpart in a typical Cloud based infrastructure.
The focal contribution to knowledge is a scalable, heterogeneous infrastructure and machine learning based spam filtering scheme, able to capitalize on collaborative accuracy improvements through RDF based, end user feedback.

SPONGY (SPam ONtoloGY): Email Classification Using Two-Level Dynamic Ontology
Email is one of common communication methods between people on the Internet. However, the increase of email misuse/abuse has resulted in an increasing volume of spam emails over recent years. An experimental system has been designed and implemented with the hypothesis that this method would outperform existing techniques, and the experimental results showed that indeed the proposed ontology-based approach improves spam filtering accuracy significantly. In this paper, two levels of ontology spam filters were implemented: a first level global ontology filter and a second level user-customized ontology filter. The use of the global ontology filter showed about 91% of spam filtered, which is comparable with other methods. The user-customized ontology filter was created based on the specific user’s background as well as the filtering mechanism used in the global ontology filter creation. The main contributions of the paper are (1) to introduce an ontology-based multilevel filtering technique that uses both a global ontology and an individual filter for each user to increase spam filtering accuracy and (2) to create a spam filter in the form of ontology, which is user-customized, scalable, and modularized, so that it can be embedded to many other systems for better performance
Universal Spam Detection using Transfer Learning of BERT Model
Several machine learning and deep learning algorithms were limited to one dataset of spam emails/texts, which waste valuable resources due to individual models. This research applied efficient classification of ham or spam emails in real-time scenarios. Deep learning transformer models become important by training on text data based on self-attention mechanisms. This manuscript demonstrated a novel universal spam detection model using pre-trained Google's Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) base uncased models with multiple spam datasets. Different methods for Enron, Spamassain, Lingspam, and Spamtext message classification datasets, were used to train models individually. The combined model is finetuned with hyperparameters of each model. When each model using its corresponding datasets, an F1-score is at 0.9 in the model architecture. The "universal model" was trained with four datasets and leveraged hyperparameters from each model. An overall accuracy reached 97%, with an F1 score at 0.96 combined across all four datasets
Systematic literature review (SLR) automation: a systematic literature review
Context: A systematic literature review(SLR) is a methodology used to find and aggregate all relevant studies about a specific research question or topic of interest. Most of the SLR processes are manually conducted. Automating these processes can reduce the workload and time consumed by human. Method: we use SLR as a methodology to survey the literature about the technologies used to automate SLR processes. Result: from the collected data we found many work done to automate the study selection process but there is no evidence about automation of the planning and reporting process. Most of the authors use machine learning classifiers to automate the study selection process. From our survey, there are processes that are similar to the SLR process for which there are automatic techniques to perform them. Conclusion: Because of these results, we concluded that there should be more research done on the planning, reporting, data extraction and synthesizing processes of SLR
