Justify the statement “Spam detection is perhaps the classic example of pattern recognition”.
Hi, I would love to answer you with this question. Hope you will like an answer and get a clear idea related to the same. So not wasting much time let's get started.
We would be discussing in the brief as it is not needed to be discussed in much detail about one specific example for pattern recognition i.e spam filtering. So let's get started
Spam detection is perhaps the classic example of pattern recognition
Firstly we need to understand the specific definition of pattern recognition. So the pattern recognition is the recognition of the patterns and the regularities in the data in an automated manner by the means of software or codes. This feature of the pattern recognition is used in the Machine Learning concepts and can be used to filter out the spam whether you talk about the emails, messages, or the Wapp messages, the concept can be used wisely to prevent the spamming.
Spamming is the abuse through electronic media by sending the emails or messages in bulk whether for the advertisements or malicious purposes. If we take an example of the mail so if the bulk messages are been sent to any persons mail then there is obviously a pattern inside the transferring of the mails as like they may be coming from the same IP or may contain the same headers where this can be used for the pattern been recognised by the spam filter using the pattern recognition which may be a part of the Machine Learning.
In this way the statement that Spam detection is perhaps the classic example of pattern recognition is justified.
