Hybrid Genetic Algorithm Trained Bayesian Ensemble for Short Messages Spam Detection

Abstract

Today’s popularity of the short messages services (SMS) has created a propitious environment for spamming to thrive. Spams are unsolicited advertising, adult-themed or inappropriate content, premium fraud, smishing and malware. They are a constant reminder of the need for an effective spam filter. However, SMS limitations of 160-charcaters and 140-bytes size as well as its being rippled with slangs, emoticons and abbreviations further inhibits effective training of models to aid accurate classification. The study proposes Genetic Algorithm Trained Bayesian Network solution that seeks to normalize noisy feats, expand text via use of lexicographic and semantic dictionaries that uses word sense disambiguation technique to train the underlying learning heuristics. And in turn, effectively help to classify SMS in spam and legitimate classes. Hybrid model comprises of text preprocessing, feature selection as well as training and classification section. Study uses a hybrid Genetic Algorithm trained Bayesian model for which the GA is used for feature selection; while, the Bayesian algorithm is used as classifier.

DaBO-BoostE: Enhanced Data Balancing via Oversampling Technique for a Boosting Ensemble in Card-Fraud Detection

“…To curb this, banks have ushered in agent banking today, as means to improve her coverage areas [4]. These too, have been eased with the adoption of wallet [5] and debit/credit card techs [6], [7] -allowing digi-pass authenticator-enabled access (code-sequence) that validates customer transactions over the banking platforms [8], [9] or wallet apps [10]; And thus, eased connectivity to their numerous customers, and promote the needed financial inclusivity [11]. Cards as issued by financial institutions have become the fulcrum that eases the payments for transactions in the form of goods cum services [12]- [14].…”
