Convolutional Neural Network Based SMS Spam Detection

SMS spam refers to undesired text message. Machine Learning methods for anti-spam filters have been noticeably effective in categorizing spam messages. Dataset used in this research is known as Tiago's dataset. Crucial step in the experiment was data preprocessing, which involved reducing text to lower case, tokenization, removing stopwords. Convolutional Neural Network was the proposed method for classification. Overall model's accuracy was 98.4%. Obtained model can be used as a tool in many applications.
