Spam today represents as much as 85% of all e-mail sent and received, according to the U.N.'s International Telecommunications Union, up from approximately 35% just one year ago. Spam is a true global ...

Achieving a 98%+ spam detection rate using a mathematical approach This white paper describes how Bayesian mathematics can be applied to the spam problem, resulting in an adaptive, ‘statistical ...

Every day at MacFixIt, we wade through hundreds - often thousands - of individual e-mail messages on a daily basis. With e-mail address harvesters more active than ever, just "cutting the fat" ...

Some say that if you can’t measure something, you’re not doing science. Bayesian logic offers a way to measure things that were previously unmeasurable, allowing us to test hypotheses and predictions ...
