Improving spam email detection using deep recurrent neural network

Abstract

<span>Nowadays the entire world depends on emails as a communication tool. Spammers try to exploit various vulnerabilities to attack users with spam emails. While it is difficult to prevent spam email attacks, many research studies have been developed in the last decade in an attempt to detect spam emails. These studies were conducted using machine learning techniques and various types of neural networks. However, with all their attempts the highest accuracy acquired was 94.2% by random forest classifier. Deep learning techniques have demonstrated higher accuracy performance compared to the traditional machine learning algorithms. In this paper, deep recurrent neural network was used to determine whether an email is a spam email. After investigating different configurations for this method, the best setting that generated the highest accuracy was based on using Tanh as the activation function with the dropout rate equals to 0.1 and the number of epochs achieving 100. The proposed approach attained a high accuracy of 99.7% which surpassed the best accuracy (98.7%) obtained by the hybrid gated recurrent unit recurrent neural network approach.</span>

The use of artificial intelligence in interrogations: voluntary confession

“…In situations where one wishes to eliminate manual determination of the nonlinear mapping relationship between two objects or where the relationship is difficult to determine, additional layers can be stacked to allow the machine to learn the relationship on its own, which is the original idea behind deep learning. Figure 2 shows the difference between a simple neural network and a DNN [26]. A simple neural network has a single hidden layer, whereas a DNN has two or more hidden layers.…”

The use of artificial intelligence in interrogation: lies and truth

“…For example, neural encoding attempts to define the relationships between pulling neuron responses and neuronal activities in the brain. Figure 2 shows the differences between a shallow neural network and a deep learning neural network model [27]. The shallow neural network has only one hidden layer, whereas the DNN has two or more hidden layers.…”

Policy-Based Spam Detection of Tweets Dataset

“…Spammers pose a significant risk to the internet [5] and spam tweets detection has become a serious issue. Moreover, with the rapid rise of internet users, the number of tweet account spammers has also increased.…”

“…Moreover, with the rapid rise of internet users, the number of tweet account spammers has also increased. They are being used for unlawful and unethical behavior, phishing, and fraud [5]. Likewise, harmful links attached via spam tweets get access to our payment details or perform other harmful acts.…”
