Abstract

This review paper investigates the advances of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of email spam detection. The study addresses AI-based techniques used for email spam filtering by classifying threats such as keywords, content-based, sender IDs, and phrases. Email spam remains one of the most pressing issues today, with spammers sending malicious links in junk folders to compromise confidential information. As spam filtering becomes increasingly complex, AI and machine learning techniques like Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest are commonly used to mitigate these threats. This study proposes a novel framework that combines traditional machine learning models with deep neural networks to develop a robust and flexible spam detection system. The framework is designed to enhance the detection capabilities of the classifier by applying a series of key sequential steps, each intended to improve the system's ability to distinguish between legitimate emails and spam. The paper details the methodology, providing a step-by-step explanation of each phase to demonstrate how the framework advances email spam detection.
