| 23 | +## 📖 Introduction |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +This repository contains a machine learning project focused on classifying emails as spam or non-spam using supervised learning techniques. It includes data preprocessing, model development, evaluation, and deployment aspects of the project. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +--- |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +## 🎯 Why This Project |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +The primary motivation behind creating this project is to tackle the issue of email spam, which remains a significant problem affecting users' productivity and security. By accurately classifying emails, this project aims to improve email filtering systems. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +--- |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +## 📊 Dataset |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +The dataset used for this project contains a collection of emails labeled as spam or ham. It includes various features extracted from the emails, such as text content, subject line, sender information, etc. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +--- |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## 🌟 Features |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +- **Data Preprocessing:** Cleaned and transformed dataset for machine learning model compatibility. |
| 44 | +- **Model Development:** Trained multiple machine learning models to classify emails as spam or ham. |
| 45 | +- **Model Evaluation:** Evaluated models using appropriate metrics to ensure accuracy and reliability. |
| 46 | +- **Deployment:** Implemented a simple web-based or command-line application for classifying new emails. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +--- |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +## 🧠 Models Implemented |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +Several machine learning models were implemented and evaluated: |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +- Naive Bayes Classifier |
| 55 | +- Support Vector Machine (SVM) |
| 56 | +- Random Forest Classifier |
| 57 | +- Logistic Regression |
| 58 | +- others |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +Each model's performance was compared based on metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +--- |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +## 📊 Evaluation Metrics |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +The models were evaluated using the following metrics: |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +- **Accuracy:** Overall correctness of the predictions. |
| 69 | +- **Precision:** Proportion of true positives among all positive predictions. |
| 70 | +- **Recall:** Proportion of true positives identified correctly. |
| 71 | +- **F1-score:** Harmonic mean of precision and recall, providing a balance between the two metrics. |
| 72 | + |
