SPAM E-mail Database The "spam" concept is diverse: advertisements for products/websites, make money fast schemes, chain letters, pornography... Our collection of spam e-mails came from our postmaster and individuals who had filed spam. Our collection of non-spam e-mails came from filed work and personal e-mails, and hence the word 'george' and the area code '650' are indicators of non-spam. These are useful when constructing a personalized spam filter. One would either have to blind such non-spam indicators or get a very wide collection of non-spam to generate a general purpose spam filter.

For background on spam: Cranor, Lorrie F., LaMacchia, Brian A. Spam! Communications of the ACM, 41(8):74-83, 1998.

Attribute Information:

The last column denotes whether the e-mail was considered spam (1) or not (0), i.e. unsolicited commercial e-mail. Most of the attributes indicate whether a particular word or character was frequently occurring in the e-mail. The run-length attributes (55-57) measure the length of sequences of consecutive capital letters.

For the statistical measures of each attribute, see the end of this file. Here are the definitions of the attributes:

48 continuous real [0,100] attributes of type word_freq_WORD = percentage of words in the e-mail that match WORD, i.e. 100 * (number of times the WORD appears in the e-mail) / total number of words in e-mail. A "word" in this case is any string of alphanumeric characters bounded by non-alphanumeric characters or end-of-string.

6 continuous real [0,100] attributes of type char_freq_CHAR = percentage of characters in the e-mail that match CHAR, i.e. 100 * (number of CHAR occurences) / total characters in e-mail

1 continuous real [1,...] attribute of type capital_run_length_average

= average length of uninterrupted sequences of capital letters

1 continuous integer [1,...] attribute of type capital_run_length_longest

= length of longest uninterrupted sequence of capital letters

1 continuous integer [1,...] attribute of type capital_run_length_total

= sum of length of uninterrupted sequences of capital letters
= total number of capital letters in the e-mail

1 nominal {0,1} class attribute of type spam

= denotes whether the e-mail was considered spam (1) or not (0), 
i.e. unsolicited commercial e-mail.

ROCrate

What is a RO-Crate?

A RO-Crate is a standardized research object package used to bundle data together with rich machine-readable metadata. Each RO-Crate contains:

• the files belonging to the dataset (e.g. CSVs, images, code, documentation)
• a ro-crate-metadata.json file describing the content, provenance, and context
• persistent identifiers and references to related research objects (e.g. software, publications)

This ensures that the dataset can be easily reused, cited, validated, and interpreted in a reproducible manner. More information can be found here.

HINT: The RO-Crate is created dynamically, so it could take up to 30 seconds until the downloads starts.
