title: Detecting Image Spam Using Local Invariant Features and Pyramid Match Kernel creator: Zuo, Haiqiang creator: Hu, Weiming creator: Wu, Ou creator: Chen, Yunfei creator: Luo, Guan description: Image spam is a new obfuscating method which spammers invented to more effectively bypass conventional text based spam filters. In this paper, we extract local invariant features of images and run a one-class SVM classifier which uses the pyramid match kernel as the kernel function to detect image spam. Experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm is effective for fighting image spam. date: 2009-04 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://www2009.eprints.org/174/1/p1187.pdf identifier: Zuo, Haiqiang and Hu, Weiming and Wu, Ou and Chen, Yunfei and Luo, Guan (2009) Detecting Image Spam Using Local Invariant Features and Pyramid Match Kernel.
