An analysis technique that has been applied to eliminating spam. It "learns" to differentiate real mail from advertising by examining the words and punctuation in large samples of both types of ...

Achieving a 98%+ spam detection rate using a mathematical approach This white paper describes how Bayesian mathematics can be applied to the spam problem, resulting in an adaptive, ‘statistical ...

Every day at MacFixIt, we wade through hundreds - often thousands - of individual e-mail messages on a daily basis. With e-mail address harvesters more active than ever, just "cutting the fat" ...

Software maker Roaring Penguin Tuesday released an upgrade to its CanIt anti-spam program that includes Bayesian filters to help the software recognize spam and block it before it reaches end users’ ...
