Dataset Structure

Data Instances

• The text config normalizes all character sets to utf8 and dumps the MIME tree as a JSON list of lists.
• The unprocessed config does not parse messages at all, leaving the full headers and content as binary.

Data Fields

• label: spam or ham
• group: SpamAssassin has grouped these samples into categories {'hard_ham', 'spam_2', 'spam', 'easy_ham', 'easy_ham_2'}
• text: normalized text of the message bodies
• raw: full binary headers and contents of messages

Data Splits

Only a train split has been provided.

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

It is hoped this dataset can help verify that modern NLP tools can solve old NLP problems.
