Subject: CEAS 2008 Spam Filtering Challenge

The Conference on Email and Anti-Spam (CEAS) invites participation in the CEAS Spam-filter Challenge. The challenge will consist of two tasks with partially overlapping data. Participants are welcome to take part in any or both of these tasks:

  • Filtering a live email stream delivered using standard protocols ("live challenge").
  • Filtering private email collections using the TREC spam filter evaluation toolkit.
Filters will be evaluated using two measures which combine the percentage of spam blocked and its false positive rate:
  • Logistic average misclassification (LAM)
  • Area under the ROC curve (AUC)
Key dates (tentative):

  • Competition registration open May, 2008.
  • Toolkit available June, 2007.
  • Test stream beginning July 1st, 2007.
  • Competition August 5th-7th, 2007.
Full details can be found on the conference website:
