Spam Filter AI

Spam Filter AI is a Python application designed to classify emails as spam or non-spam using machine learning techniques. By utilizing Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Naive Bayes classification, this tool helps maintain an organized and spam-free inbox.

🚀 Project Overview

Spam Filter AI employs advanced machine learning methods to process and analyze email content, categorizing it as spam or non-spam. Key components include:

• Natural Language Processing (NLP): For analy! zing and understanding text.
• Naive Bayes Classification: For spam detection.
• TF-IDF Vectorization: To convert text into numerical features.

Key Features

• Direct Email Pasting: Users can paste email content directly into the application.
• Real-Time Classification: Provides instant classification of email content.
• Modern GUI: Intuitive interface for ease of use.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

🛠️ Technologies Used

• Python: Main programming language.
• scikit-learn: For machine learning algorithms and preprocessing.
• tkinter: For creating the graphical user interface.
• pandas: For data manipulation and analysis.
• NLTK: For text processing and NLP.
