3. INTRODUCTION
• Introduction:
• Email spam is a significant issue affecting individuals, businesses, and organizations
worldwide.
• Spam emails often contain malicious content, scams, or unwanted advertising.
• Accurately classifying spam and ham (non-spam) emails is crucial for ensuring email
security and protecting users from potential threats.
• Goal of the Code:
• The purpose of the presented code is to demonstrate the application of machine learning
algorithms for email spam classification.
• By training and evaluating classifiers on a labeled dataset, the code aims to accurately
differentiate between spam and legitimate emails.
• Importance of Email Spam Classification:
• Enhanced Security: Efficient spam classification helps prevent users from falling victim to
phishing attempts, malware distribution, and fraudulent schemes.
• User Experience: Reducing the influx of spam emails improves productivity and ensures
that users receive relevant and legitimate messages.
• Resource Optimization: Identifying and filtering out spam emails saves storage space and
reduces the burden on email servers.
4. Data

9. SUMMARY
■ In this project, we successfully developed machine learning models for email
spam classification using the Naive Bayes and logistic regression algorithms.
The models exhibit high accuracy and effectively differentiate between spam
and ham email messages. These results validate the efficacy of the
implemented algorithms in addressing the email spam problem. We can
further enhance the classifiers by incorporating advanced techniques or
exploring ensemble methods.
