E-mail spam has become an increasingly important problem with a big economic impact in society. Fortunately, there are different approaches allowing to automatically detect and remove most of those messages, and the best-known techniques are based on Bayesian decision theory. However, such probabilistic approaches often suffer from a well-known difficulty: the high dimensionality of the feature space. Many term-selection methods have been proposed for avoiding the curse of dimensionality. Nevertheless, it is still unclear how the performance of Naive Bayes spam filters depends on the scheme applied for reducing the dimensionality of the feature space. In this paper, we study the performance of many term-selection techniques with several different models of Naive Bayes spam filters. Our experiments were diligently designed to ensure statistically sound results. Moreover, we perform an analysis concerning the measurements usually employed to evaluate the quality of spam filters. Finally, we also investigate the benefits of using the Matthews correlation coefficient as a measure of performance. © The Brazilian Computer Society 2010
