bayespam

A simple bayesian spam classifier.

About

Bayesam is inspired by Naive Bayes classifiers, a popular statistical technique of e-mail filtering.

Here, the message to be identified is cut into simple words, also called tokens. That are compared to all the corpus of messages (spam or not), to determine the frequency of different tokens in both categories.

A probabilistic formula is used to calculate the probability that the message is a spam. When the probability is high enough, the classifier categorizes the message as likely a spam, otherwise as likely a ham. The probability threshold is fixed at 0.8 by default.

Usage

Add to your Cargo.toml:

ini [dependencies] bayespam = "1.0.0"

Use the pre-trained model provided

```rust extern crate bayespam;

use bayespam::classifier;

fn main() -> Result<(), std::io::Error> { // Identify a typical spam message let spam = "Lose up to 19% weight. Special promotion on our new weightloss."; let score = classifier::score(spam)?; let isspam = classifier::identify(spam)?; println!("{:.4?}", score); println!("{:?}", isspam);

// Identify a typical ham message
let ham = "Hi Bob, can you send me your machine learning homework?";
let score = classifier::score(ham)?;
let is_spam = classifier::identify(ham)?;
println!("{:.4?}", score);
println!("{:?}", is_spam);

Ok(())

} ```

bash $> cargo run 0.9999 true 0.0604 false

Train your own model and save it as JSON into a file

```rust extern crate bayespam;

use bayespam::classifier::Classifier; use std::fs::File;

fn main() -> Result<(), std::io::Error> { // Create a new classifier with an empty model let mut classifier = Classifier::new();

// Train the classifier with a new spam example
let spam = "Don't forget our special promotion: -30% on men shoes, only today!";
classifier.train_spam(spam);

// Train the classifier with a new ham example
let ham = "Hi Bob, don't forget our meeting today at 4pm.";
classifier.train_ham(ham);

// Identify a typical spam message
let spam = "Lose up to 19% weight. Special promotion on our new weightloss.";
let score = classifier.score(spam);
let is_spam = classifier.identify(spam);
println!("{:.4}", score);
println!("{}", is_spam);

// Identify a typical ham message
let ham = "Hi Bob, can you send me your machine learning homework?";
let score = classifier.score(ham);
let is_spam = classifier.identify(ham);
println!("{:.4}", score);
println!("{}", is_spam);

// Serialize the model and save it as JSON into a file
let mut file = File::create("my_super_model.json")?;
classifier.save(&mut file, false)?;

Ok(())

} ```

bash $> cargo run 0.9851 true 0.0100 false

bash $> cat my_super_model.json {"token_table":{"forget":{"ham":1,"spam":1},"only":{"ham":0,"spam":1},"meeting":{"ham":1,"spam":0},"our":{"ham":1,"spam":1},"dont":{"ham":1,"spam":1},"bob":{"ham":1,"spam":0},"men":{"ham":0,"spam":1},"today":{"ham":1,"spam":1},"shoes":{"ham":0,"spam":1},"special":{"ham":0,"spam":1},"promotion:":{"ham":0,"spam":1}}}
