Welcome to the Spam Email Detection Project — a machine learning solution to classify emails as spam or not using natural language processing (NLP) techniques and the Multinomial Naive Bayes algorithm.
The goal of this project is to build an efficient, lightweight model to enhance email filtering systems, reducing spam and improving user productivity.
Dataset Used: Spam Email Dataset (Kaggle)
- Python: Core programming language
- Scikit-learn: For model training and evaluation
- Pandas & NumPy: Data manipulation
- Matplotlib & Seaborn: Visual analysis and plotting
-
Data Preprocessing:
- Cleaned and tokenized text
- Removed noise (stopwords, punctuations, etc.)
-
Model Building:
- Utilized Multinomial Naive Bayes, ideal for text classification
- Trained/test split to evaluate generalization
-
Evaluation:
- Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-Score
-
