Spam is a major concern in present emails, and there are several reasons for sending spam emails. The two most common ones are advertising and fraud. If supported by suitable preprocessing approaches, the detection algorithm for spam email or spam classifier will function effectively (removal of noise, removal of stop words, stemming, lemmatization, term frequency). Spam that combines both text and image components is referred to as hybrid spam. Compared to spam emails with images and text, it is more unsafe and complex. To distinguish spam or ham, we must use an effective and smart approach in order to have a strong representation of emails and improve classification performance. In this paper, we propose a multi-modal architecture relying on a feature model (MMA-FM) that concatenates two embedding vectors. The text and image sections of the similar emails were separated using a hybrid model (IMTF-IDF+Skip-thoughts) and the convolutional neural network (CNN) as a feature extraction technique. The extracted features are concatenated and given to Naïve Bayes (NB) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) models to classify hybrid email as either spam or ham. In this paper we used two hybrid datasets: Enron, Dredze, and TREC 2007, which are publicly accessible corpora. Our results show that the SVM model provides an accuracy of 99.16%, which is higher when compared to the Naïve Bayes method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
