Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for operation upon one or more data processors to classify communications from messaging entities, comprising: receiving a communication from a messaging entity via a communication network interface; storing the communication in computer memory; using a plurality of message classification techniques executed by a data processor to classify the stored communication; and combining the outputs of the message classification techniques using the data processor to generate a message profile score; wherein the message profile score is used by a communication filter in deciding what action is to be taken with respect to the communication associated with the messaging entity; wherein a tuner is used to adjust confidence values associated with the message classification outputs, the tuner operating upon the data processor using a genetic algorithm including a fitness function modeling the fitness of candidate solutions to a problem domain associated with the message classification techniques, the fitness function comprising the equation: wherein N
