The research was about creating another solution to the most common problem to the internet nowadays w/c is spamming. The research aims to create another solution to spam this time by using preference ranking. The paper discussed spam filtering algorithm and what are the features of this new algorithm of spam filtering. "Email filtering is the process of monitoring incoming (or outgoing) email and then taking certain actions to that email (Mingjun Lan, Wanlei Zhou, 2005 )[2]. This spam filtering algorithm uses the technique called the preference ranking. "Preference ranking is to calculate the similarity among various documents from a user's preference sources (Mingjun Lan, Wanlei Zhou, 2005)[2]. This research is very relevant in solving w/c I think a world wide problem. The cost of spam to factors such as waste of bandwidth, to ISP services and time is very dramatic [3]. These spams can cause clogging to servers and marks a huge increase to the load of email servers. Providing a spam filtering algorithm could be really a great help to lessen email spam.
Knowing the fact that there are already existing solutions or anti-spam technology such as gateway filtering and Heuristic filtering [2], the researchers completely explains what is unique in the algorithm w/c the paper discussed. It is advantage to readers to know such algorithms in order for them go gain insights about the anti-spam technology and what is unique about this new technique. The research also shows all the relevant information in the research such as the related researches being conducted prior to their work, the experimentation and the testing and evaluation. But one thing is not clear to me, it was not emphasized on the paper on what is its difference to other technology when it comes to performance.
The research is very useful and important because this spamming problem is not yet solve up to this moment. This problem will result to some serious problem such as server clogging, network traffic and most of all lost of revenue for company that makes a living trough the internet. It is a challenge for all future IT and CS professionals to create a more powerful algorithm to solve this problem.
