Using evolutionary computation for discovering spam patterns from e-mail samples

作者：

Highlights：

• Reveal how to take advantage of text patterns to filter spam e-mails.

• Review of existing strategies to automatically discover regular expressions from a dataset.

• Introduce of a novel genetic programing method to automatically find regular expressions.

• Our proposal is compared against another popular method introduced by Eric Conrad (SANS Institute).
