ABSTRACT
Spam messages are a growing issue in digital communication, leading to security threats,
phishing attacks, and unnecessary distractions. This project focuses on using Natural
Language Processing (NLP) to develop an efficient spam detection system. The model is
trained using machine learning and deep learning techniques, analyzing text patterns to
classify messages as spam or not spam. By leveraging feature extraction methods like TF-
IDF and Word Embeddings, the system achieves high accuracy in detecting unwanted
messages.
