Short messages usage has been tremendously increased such as SMS, tweets and status updates. Due to its popularity and ease of use, many companies use it for advertisement purpose. Hackers also use SMS to defraud users and steal personal information. In this paper, the use of Graphs centrality metrics is proposed for spam SMS detection. The graph centrality measures: degree, closeness, and eccentricity are used for classification of SMS. Graphs for each class are created using labeled SMS and then unlabeled SMS is classified using the centrality scores of the token available in the unclassified SMS. Our results show that highest precision and recall is achieved by using degree centrality. Degree centrality achieved the highest precision i.e. 0.81 and recall i.e., 0.76 for spam messages.

With technological advancements and increment in content based advertisement, the use of Short Message Service (SMS) on phones has increased to such a significant level that devices are sometimes flooded with a number of spam SMS. These spam messages can lead to loss of private data as well. There are many content-based machine learning techniques which have proven to be effective in filtering spam emails. Modern day researchers have used some stylistic features of text messages to classify them to be ham or spam. SMS spam detection can be greatly influenced by the presence of known words, phrases, abbreviations and idioms. This paper aims to compare different classifying techniques on different datasets collected from previous research works, and evaluate them on the basis of their accuracies, precision, recall and CAP Curve. The comparison has been performed between traditional machine learning techniques and deep learning methods.

SMS spam refers to undesired text message. Machine Learning methods for anti-spam filters have been noticeably effective in categorizing spam messages. Dataset used in this research is known as Tiago's dataset. Crucial step in the experiment was data preprocessing, which involved reducing text to lower case, tokenization, removing stopwords. Convolutional Neural Network was the proposed method for classification. Overall model's accuracy was 98.4%. Obtained model can be used as a tool in many applications.

Short Message Service is now-days the most used way of communication in the electronic world. While many researches exist on the email spam detection, we haven't had the insight knowledge about the spam done within the SMS's. This might be because the frequency of spam in these short messages is quite low than the emails. This paper presents different ways of analyzing spam for SMS and a new pre-processing way to get the actual dataset of spam messages. This dataset was then used on different algorithm techniques to find the best working algorithm in terms of both accuracy and recall. Random Forest algorithm was then implemented in a real world application library written in C\# for cross platform .Net development. This library is capable of using a prebuild model for classifying a new dataset for spam and ham.

Schäfer, C..  2017.  Detection of compromised email accounts used for spamming in correlation with origin-destination delivery notification extracted from metadata. 2017 5th International Symposium on Digital Forensic and Security (ISDFS). :1–6.

Fifty-four percent of the global email traffic in October 2016 was spam and phishing messages. Those emails were commonly sent from compromised email accounts. Previous research has primarily focused on detecting incoming junk mail but not locally generated spam messages. State-of-the-art spam detection methods generally require the content of the email to be able to classify it as either spam or a regular message. This content is not available within encrypted messages or is prohibited due to data privacy. The object of the research presented is to detect an anomaly with the Origin-Destination Delivery Notification method, which is based on the geographical origin and destination as well as the Delivery Status Notification of the remote SMTP server without the knowledge of the email content. The proposed method detects an abused account after a few transferred emails; it is very flexible and can be adjusted for every environment and requirement.
