This paper discusses the design decisions underlying the CRM114 Discriminator software, how it can be configured as a spam filter, and what we may glean from the preliminary TREC 2005 results. Unlike most other filters, CRM114 is not a fixed-purpose antispam filter; rather, it's a general purpose language meant to expedite the creation of text filters. The pluggable CRM114 architecture allows rapid prototyping and easy support of multiple classifier engines; rather than testing different cutoff parameters, the CRM114 TREC test set tested different classifier algorithms and learning protocols. |
