摘要：In recent years email has become one of the fastest and most economical means of communication. However increase of email users has resulted in the dramatic increase of spam emails during the past few years. Data mining -classification algorithms are used to categorize the email as spam or non-spam. In this paper, we conducted experiment in the WEKA environment by using four algorithms namely ID3, J48, Simple CART and Alternating Decision Tree on the spam email dataset and later the four algorithms were compared in terms of classification accuracy. According to our simulation results the J48 classifier outperforms the ID3, CART and ADTree in terms of classification accuracy.
