Application of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for the Prediction of Spam Mail

Abstract

Spam mail has indeed become a global dilemma due to its coevolutionary nature. It has resulted in the loss of organizational resources, possibly financial cost incurred as well as time spent in addressing spam related issues. This has pushed organizations and researchers to the pinnacle of research with the aim of identifying needed solutions. This research paper explores the rich capabilities of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for predicting spam mail taking cognizant natural language capabilities. Spam mail prediction was simulated using a simulator built utilizing python programming language to capture the fundamentals of CNN. The CNN training was actualized using 10 epochs. The 1st epoch offers a training time of 4mins, 39s with a loss of 1.7578, accuracy of 0.3508, value loss of 1.2130 and value accuracy 0f 0.5719 while the 10th epoch presents a training time of 4mins, 6s with a loss of 0.5896, accuracy of 0.7936, value loss of 0.8941 and value accuracy of 0.6986.
