Web spam classification using supervised artificial neural network algorithms
This addresses the problem of improving spam detection for web users, but it appears incremental as it applies existing neural network methods to a specific domain.
The paper tackled web spam classification by evaluating three supervised artificial neural network algorithms—Conjugate Gradient, Resilient Backpropagation, and Levenberg-Marquardt—to create efficient and adaptive classifiers, but no concrete performance numbers are provided in the abstract.
Due to the rapid growth in technology employed by the spammers, there is a need of classifiers that are more efficient, generic and highly adaptive. Neural Network based technologies have high ability of adaption as well as generalization. As per our knowledge, very little work has been done in this field using neural network. We present this paper to fill this gap. This paper evaluates performance of three supervised learning algorithms of artificial neural network by creating classifiers for the complex problem of latest web spam pattern classification. These algorithms are Conjugate Gradient algorithm, Resilient Backpropagation learning, and Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm.
