Abstract

At present, content-based methods are regard as the more effective in the task of Short Message Service (SMS) spam filtering. However, they usually use traditional text classification technologies, which are more suitable to deal with normal long texts; therefore, it often faces some serious challenges, such as the sparse data problem and noise data in the SMS message. In addition, the existing SMS spam filtering methods usually consider the SMS spam task as a binary-class problem, which could not provide for different categories for multi-grain SMS spam filtering. In this paper, the authors propose a message topic model (MTM) for multi-grain SMS spam filtering. The MTM derives from the famous probability topic model, and is improved in this paper to make it more suitable for SMS spam filtering. Finally, the authors compare the MTM with the SVM and the standard LDA on the public SMS spam corpus. The experimental results show that the MTM is more effective for the task of SMS spam filtering.
