New Breed Spam Filter P2P Communication and Machine Learning | |
New Breed Spam Filter
New Scientist has an interesting feature about some new spam filtering software; New Breed Spam Filter Slashes Junk Email. The technology used apparently relies on peer to peer communication, presumably to detect the 'bulk' properties of many spam emails. Basic pattern recognition is employed to detect similar emails, and not only carbon copies (beware spammers!) The program is also said to have machine learning, and though there are many potential uses for this, the article remains vague on the topic. |

Meet the New Spam Buster
Heres a related article: Meet the New Spam Buster It talks less about the pattern recognition, and more about the peer to peer technology behind the scenes. All this spam prevention is going to be generating lots of traffic though! |
