SpamFilter-ChromeExtension

This is an applied application of machine learning. It is a chrome extension to detect spam messages.

Spam detection

Naive Bayes classifiers are a popular statistical technique of e-mail filtering. They typically use bag of words features to identify spam e-mail, an approach commonly used in text classification.

Naive Bayes classifiers work by correlating the use of tokens (typically words, or sometimes other things), with spam and non-spam e-mails and then using Bayes' theorem to calculate a probability that an email is or is not spam. More

Note:

If you are not getting the result then check your browser console. If it is showing Access-Control-Allow-Origin error then,



You can find a Chrome extension(https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/allow-control-allow-origi/nlfbmbojpeacfghkpbjhddihlkkiljbi) that will modify CORS headers on the fly in your application. Obviously, this is Chrome only, but I like that it works with zero changes anywhere at all. You can use it for debugging your app on a local machine (if everything works in production).

Notice: If URL becomes broken the extension name is Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *. I recommend you to disable this extension when you not working on your stuff, because, for example, youtube does not work with this extension.

Please commit for any changes or bugs :)
