Lightweight SVM-based content filtering system for mobile phones

摘要

In one embodiment, a content filtering system generates a support vector machine (SVM) learning model in a server computer and provides the SVM learning model to a mobile phone for use in classifying text messages. The SVM learning model may be generated in the server computer by training a support vector machine with sample text messages that include spam and legitimate text messages. A resulting intermediate SVM learning model from the support vector machine may include a threshold value, support vectors and alpha values. The SVM learning model in the mobile phone may include the threshold value, the features, and the weights of the features. An incoming text message may be parsed for the features. The weights of features found in the incoming text message may be added and compared to the threshold value to determine whether or not the incoming text message is spam.
