Abstract
A method for elimination of spam in a data stream according to information density, includes receiving, by a computing device, a stream of messages. The method includes directing, by the computing device, the stream into at least one buffer. The method includes repeatedly compressing, by the computing device, data in the buffer using a lossless compression algorithm. The method includes identifying, by the computing device, at least one first message in the buffer as spam, by determining that the at least one first message has been compressed below a threshold level.
Claims13
A method for elimination of spam in a data stream according to information density, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, a stream of messages;
- directing, by the computing device, the stream into at least one buffer;
- repeatedly compressing, by the computing device, data in the buffer using a lossless compression algorithm;
- and
- identifying, by the computing device, at least one first message in the buffer as spam, by determining that the at least one first message has been compressed below a threshold level;
- wherein determining that the at least one first message has been compressed below the threshold level further comprises determining that the ratio of the compressed size of the at least one first message to the uncompressed size of the at least one first message is smaller than a threshold number.
A system for elimination of spam in a data stream according to information density, the system comprising:
- a computing device;
- at least one receiver, executing on the computing device, and configured to receive a stream of messages and direct the stream into at least one buffer;
- at least one compressor, executing on the computing device, and configured to repeatedly compress data in the buffer using a lossless compression algorithm;
- and
- at least one classifier, executing on the computing device and configured to identify at least one message in the buffer as spam by determining that the at least one first message has been compressed below a threshold level;
- wherein determining that the at least one first message has been compressed below the threshold level further comprises determining that the ratio of the compressed size of the at least one first message to the uncompressed size of the at least one first message is smaller than a threshold number.
