Abstract

We present an approach to email filtering based on one -class Information Bottleneck (IB) method in small training sets. When themes of emails are changing continually, the available training set which is high -relevant to the current theme will be small. Hence, we further show how to estimate the learning algorithm and how to filter the spam in the small training sets. First, In order to preserve classification accuracy and avoid over -fitting while substantially reducing training set size, we consider the learning framework as the solution of one -class centroid only averaged by highly positive emails, and second, we design a simple binary classification model to filters spam by the comparison of similarity between emails and centroids. Experimental results show that in small training sets our method can significantly improve classification accuracy co mpared with the currently popular methods, such as: Naive Bayes, AdaBoost and SVM
