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.
