📧 SPAM CLASSIFIER PROJECT

📝 INTRODUCTION

This project implements a machine learning-based spam classifier that can identify whether SMS/emails are spam or ham (legitimate). It uses the Multinomial Naive Bayes algorithm, which is particularly effective for text classification tasks. The model is trained on a dataset of labeled messages and can predict new messages in real-time. MongoDB is used to store messages, predictions, and model performance metrics.

✨ FEATURES

1. Message Classification: Classify messages as spam or ham
2. Model Training: Train the Naive Bayes model on labeled data
3. Database Integration: Store all messages and predictions in MongoDB
4. Performance Metrics: Track accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score
5. Batch Processing: Classify multiple messages at once
6. Model Persistence: Save and load trained model
7. Confidence Scores: Get probability scores for predictions
8. Export Functionality: Export results to CSV/JSON

# Spam Classifier using Naive Bayes ## Overview This project implements a machine learning-based spam classifier that can identify whether SMS/emails are spam or ham (legitimate). It uses the Multinomial Naive Bayes algorithm and integrates with MongoDB for data storage. ## Features - Real-time message classification - Batch processing capability - MongoDB integration for data persistence - Model training and evaluation - Performance metrics tracking - Confidence scores for predictions - Interactive command-line interface ## Prerequisites - Python 3.8+ - MongoDB 4.0+ - pip package manager ## Installation 1. Clone the repository:

bash
git clone
cd spam-classifier

2. Install dependencies:

bash
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Set up MongoDB: - Install MongoDB locally or use MongoDB Atlas - Update connection string in `.env` file (create if not exists):

MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/
DATABASE_NAME=spam_classifier_db

4. Download NLTK data (automatically handled in code):

python
import nltk
nltk.download('punkt')
nltk.download('stopwords')

## Usage ### Quick Start

bash
python app.py

### Programmatic Usage

python
from app import SpamClassifierApp

Initialize app

app = SpamClassifierApp()
app.initialize()

Train model with existing data

app.train_from_database()

Classify a message

result = app.classify_message("Your message here")
print(f"Prediction: {result['prediction']}")
print(f"Confidence: {result['confidence']}")

Batch classification

messages = ["Message 1", "Message 2", "Message 3"]
results = app.classify_batch(messages)

### Loading Custom Data

bash

From CSV file

python app.py

Choose option 3 to load CSV data

CSV should have 'message' and 'label' columns

## Project Structure - `config/`: Configuration files - `models/`: ML model implementation - `database/`: MongoDB operations - `utils/`: Utility functions - `data/`: Dataset files - `app.py`: Main application ## Model Details - Algorithm: Multinomial Naive Bayes - Features: TF-IDF with n-grams (1-2) - Text preprocessing: Lowercasing, stopword removal, stemming - Evaluation metrics: Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-Score ## Database Schema Collections: - `messages`: Stores all messages with labels - `predictions`: Stores prediction results - `model_metrics`: Stores model performance metrics ## API Endpoints (Optional - Flask) If you want to create a REST API, uncomment Flask-related code and add:

python
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify

app = Flask(name)
classifier_app = SpamClassifierApp()

@app.route('/classify', methods=['POST'])
def classify():
data = request.json
message = data.get('message', '')
result = classifier_app.classify_message(message)
return jsonify(result)

if name == 'main':
classifier_app.initialize()
app.run(debug=True)

## Performance The model typically achieves: - Accuracy: 95-98% - Precision: 94-97% - Recall: 93-96% - F1-Score: 94-97% ## Troubleshooting 1. **MongoDB Connection Issues**: - Ensure MongoDB is running: `sudo systemctl status mongod` - Check connection string in `.env` file 2. **Memory Issues**: - Reduce max_features in CountVectorizer - Process data in batches 3. **Low Accuracy**: - Add more training data - Adjust preprocessing parameters - Try different n-gram ranges ## Contributing Feel free to submit issues and enhancement requests! ## License MIT License
