Email Spam

Email is the most popular choice of communication due to its low-cost and easy accessibility, which makes email spam a major issue. Emails can be incorrectly marked by a spam filter and legitimate emails can get lost in the spam folder or the spam emails can deluge the users' inboxes. Therefore, various methods based on statistics and machine learning have been developed to classify emails accurately. In this chapter, the existing spam filtering methods were studied comprehensively, and a spam email classifier based on the genetic algorithm was proposed. The proposed algorithm was successful in achieving high accuracy by reducing the rate of false positives, but at the same time, it also maintained an acceptable rate of false negatives. The proposed algorithm was tested on 2000 emails from the two popular spam datasets, Enron and LingSpam, and the accuracy was found to be nearly 90%. The results showed that the genetic algorithm is an effective method for spam classification and with further enhancements that will provide a more robust spam filter.

Rabi Crops

Agriculture sector in India is facing rigorous problem to maximize crop productivity. More than 60 percent of the crop still depends on climatic factors like rainfall, temperature, humidity. This paper discusses the use of various Data Mining applications in agriculture sector. Data Mining is used to solve various problems in agriculture sector. It can be used it to solve yield prediction. The problem of yield prediction is a major problem that remains to be solved based on available data. Data mining techniques are the better choices for this purpose. Different Data Mining techniques are used and evaluated in agriculture for estimating the future year's crop production. In this paper we have focused on predicting crop yield productivity of kharif & Rabi Crops.

Existing Data

Penelitian ini dimaksudkan untuk melakukan prediksi terhadap kemungkian mahasiswa baru dapat menyelesaikan studi tepat waktu dengan menggunakan analisis data mining untuk menggali tumpukan histori data dengan menggunakan algoritma K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). Aplikasi yang dihasilkan pada penelitian ini akan menggunakan berbagai atribut yang klasifikasikan dalam suatu data mining antara lain nilai ujian nasional (UN), asal sekolah/ daerah, jenis kelamin, pekerjaan dan penghasilan orang tua, jumlah bersaudara, dan lain-lain sehingga dengan menerapkan analysis KNN dapat dilakukan suatu prediksi berdasarkan kedekatan histori data yang ada dengan data yang baru, apakah mahasiswa tersebut berpeluang untuk menyelesaikan studi tepat waktu atau tidak. Dari hasil pengujian dengan menerapkan algoritma KNN dan menggunakan data sampel alumni tahun wisuda 2004 s.d. 2010 untuk kasus lama dan data alumni tahun wisuda 2011 untuk kasus baru diperoleh tingkat akurasi sebesar 83,36%.This research is intended to predict the possibility of new students time to complete studies using data mining analysis to explore the history stack data using K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm (KNN). Applications generated in this study will use a variety of attributes in a data mining classified among other Ujian Nasional scores (UN), the origin of the school / area, gender, occupation and income of parents, number of siblings, and others that by applying the analysis KNN can do a prediction based on historical proximity of existing data with new data, whether the student is likely to complete the study on time or not. From the test results by applying the KNN algorithm and uses sample data alumnus graduation year 2004 s.d 2010 for the case of a long and alumni data graduation year 2011 for new cases obtained accuracy rate of 83.36%.
