Assignment No 2 - ML

The assignment focuses on classifying emails as spam or not spam using binary classification methods, specifically K-Nearest Neighbors and Support Vector Machine. It utilizes a dataset containing 5172 emails with features representing the frequency of 3000 common words and labels indicating spam status. Students are expected to preprocess the data and analyze the performance of the classification algorithms.

Group B

Assignment No : 2
Title of the Assignment:Classify the email using the binary classification method. Email
Spam detection has two states:
a) Normal State – Not Spam,
b) Abnormal State – Spam.
Use K-Nearest Neighbors and Support Vector Machine for classification. Analyze their
performance.

Dataset Description:The csv file contains 5172 rows, each row for each email. There are
3002 columns. The first column indicates Email name. The name has been set with numbers
and not recipients' name to protect privacy. The last column has the labels for prediction : 1for
spam, 0 for not spam. The remaining 3000 columns are the 3000 most common words inall the
emails, after excluding the non-alphabetical characters/words. For each row, thecount of
each word(column) in that email(row) is stored in the respective cells. Thus,information
regarding all 5172 emails are stored in a compact dataframe rather than asseparate text
files.

Objective of the Assignment:

Students should be able to classify email using the binary Classification and implement email
spam detection technique by using K-Nearest Neighbors and Support Vector Machine
algorithm.

Prerequisite:
1. Basic knowledge of Python
2. Concept of K-Nearest Neighbors and Support Vector Machine for classification.

Contents of the Theory:

1. Data Preprocessing
2. Binary Classification
3. K-Nearest Neighbours
4. Support Vector Machine
5. Train, Test and Split Procedure

Data Preprocessing:

Data preprocessing is a process of preparing the raw data and making it suitable for amachine
learning model. It is the rst and crucial step while creating a machine learning model.

When creating a machine learning project, it is not always a case that we come across the clean and
formatted data. And while doing any operation with data, it is mandatory to clean itand put in a formatted
way. So for this, we use data preprocessing task.

Why do we need Data Preprocessing?

A real-world data generally contains noises, missing values, and maybe in an unusable format which
cannot be directly used for machine learning models. Data preprocessing is required tasks for cleaning the
data and making it suitable for a machine learning model which also increases the accuracy and e ciency
of a machine learning model.

It involves below steps:

● Getting the dataset


● Importing libraries

● Importing datasets

● Finding Missing Data

● Encoding Categorical Data

● Splitting dataset into training and test set

● Feature scaling
