Enhanced Security and Reliability in Messaging Systems through Real-Time SMS Spam Filtering with Machine Learning

Abstract— SMS spam has emerged as a major issue for cellular users, which leads to annoyance and inconvenience. Machine learning has been effective in filtering out spam SMS. Yet, applying these techniques in actual real-time situations poses special challenges. A newly published study seeks to tackle these challenges by building an efficient real-time. SMS spam filtering system based on machine learning. The main contribution of this work is to improve the performance of the system in real-time classification by focusing on data preparation, feature engineering, algorithm selection, and model deployment.
