ABSTRACT

Due to the increase in internet users, there is a rapid growth in spam e-mails. In recent years, kernel function have received major attention, particularly due to the increased popularity of Support Vector Machine. It is a best classifier for binary classification. Kernel functions are used to map data into high dimensional feature space. In this paper a new kernel function is developed called Cauchy kernel, and performance is evaluated over ECML-PKDD dataset and compared with the predefined kernel functions. The experiment shows that the results are better than predefined kernel functions.
