Exploring the challenges and opportunities in using representation learning
techniques to improve spam detection systems.
Defining the problem

What is Representation Learning?

Representation learning is the process of automatically discovering the


relevant features of data, without relying on manual feature engineering .

The Challenge of Spam Detection:

• Spam detection: Critical task


• Traditional approaches: Handcrafted features
• Ineffective against sophisticated spam tactics
Motivation to the problem (Why the problem
is so important and relevant)

1 Ubiquity of Spam

2 Threats to Security and Privacy

3 Economic Impact

4 Need for Accurate Detection


Overview of existing techniques

• Rule-based systems: Utilize predefined rules or patterns to classify emails as


spam or legitimate.
• Traditional machine learning: Employ algorithms like decision trees or
support vector machines with manually engineered features for classification.
• Hybrid approaches: Combine rule-based systems with machine learning
techniques for improved accuracy.
Rule-based systems
• Pros: Simple to implement and interpret.
• Cons: Limited adaptability to evolving spam tactics, prone to false
positives/negatives.
Challenges to existing techniques

•Evolving tactics: Spammers continuously adapt their strategies, making it challenging for
rule-based systems to keep up.
•Feature engineering: Manual feature selection may not capture all relevant patterns in email
data.
•Scalability: Traditional techniques may struggle with large volumes of data.
•Interpretability: Complex models lack interpretability, hindering trust and understanding
