Bayesian spam filtering for the masses
Bayesian spam filtering for the masses
10/30/2003 11:59 PMSpam, or unsolicited commercial e-mail, is now a sad part of everyday
life online. Research companies estimate that more than 50% of the
worldwide e-mail traffic is spam. As a result, it's becoming
constantly more difficult and time-consuming to sort out legitimate
e-mails from the deluge of commercial messages we're being flooded
with. But there are ways to fight back. In this series, we'll walk
through choosing and setting up a highly effective package for
screening out spam.

Subconsciously, People may be Bayesian
01/22/2004 02:48 AM DAVID LEONHARDT writes in a NY Times article about people playing
the odds of everyday life with Bayesian Analysis. He describes new
research, recently published in Nature, "which stands out because it
offers a detailed window into how the Bayesian thought process works,
showing the point when uncertainty becomes great enough to give past
experience an edge over current observation." Bayesian Analysis, among
researchers, is "the combining of new information with conventional
wisdom." I do agree about their reliance on past observations, but I
believe that they have underestimated the role of future orientation
in the whole mix of decision making.

Working with Bayesian categorizers
12/02/2003 01:38 AM
There's been some discussion in the blog world about using a Bayesian
categorizer to enable a person to discriminate along various
interest/non-interest axes. I took a run at this recently and,
although my experiments haven't been wildly successful, I want to
report them because I think the idea may have merit. [Full story: O'Reilly
Network: Working with Bayesian Categorizers]
This month's O'Reilly Network column was a struggle because
categorization itself is a struggle. I remain convinced that the
automated classifiers that are doing such a good job beating back the
tide of spam will also turn out to be more generally useful. But
finding the right synergy between an automated assistant and a human
overseer is a subtle and tricky thing.

12/02/2003 07:37 AMBayesian anti-spam filters count word-frequency in suspect and compare
the results to profiles of word-frequency in spam and ham. Defeating
this requires that your spam include a lot of natural human prose. So
spammers have started to mine the Gutenberg Project and other sources
of human-generated ASCII and dumping random hunks of literature into
their messages to get around the filters.
Blogger and journalist Clive Thompson found an excerpt from Chapter 20
of The Master Key by Wizard of Oz author L Frank Baum in a message
that had as its subject line "the big unit" (no prizes for guessing
what the rest of it was hawking).

01/22/2004 02:47 AMBayesian statistical modelling is a tool used to compare new events to
past experience, something useful for applications as diverse as
predicting whether a message is spam and whether a Web-page is
relevant to a given subject. New research indicates that we do a lot
of Bayesian comparisons in our heads, particularily when engaged in
athletic tasks:
"Most decisions in our lives are done in the presence of uncertainty,"
Dr. Körding said. "In all these cases, the prior knowledge we have
can be very helpful. If the brain works in the Bayesian way, it would
optimally use the prior knowledge."
The researchers drew the analogy to tennis in their paper, and it is
not the first study to suggest that athletes have a more sophisticated
understanding of mathematics than even they may realize.

Bayesian spam rumination: when
word-frequency-histograms attack!
06/29/2004 10:40 AMEd Felten has posted an intriguing rumination on the possible failure
modes of Bayesian spam-filtering -- filtering that uses word-frequency
statistics to classify email as spam or ham. As Ed points out,
Bayesian filters are trained by the spammers, who, by choosing the
vocabulary of their messages carefully, can make messages containing
certain words or phrases undeliverable on the Internet.
Now suppose a big spammer wanted to poison a particular word, so that
messages containing that word would be (mis)classified as spam. The
spammer could sprinkle the target word throughout the word salad in
his outgoing spam messages. When users classified those messages as
spam, the targeted word would develop a negative score in the users'
Bayesian spam filters. Later, messages with the targeted word would
likely be mistaken for spam.
This attack could even be carried out against a particular targeted
user. By feeding that user a steady diet of spam (or pseudo-spam)
containing the target word, a malicious person could build up a highly
negative score for that word in the targeted user's filter.
