Inspiration

I want to get into Data Science, and thought that this hackathon would be a great opportunity to create a beginner project. I was looking through various resources and trying to find different datasets that would help me get a better idea on what to create. I found a file that contained a bunch of spam messages and non-spam messages and decided to build a classier around it.

What it does

Simply detects whether a message is spam or not.

How we built it

The tools used were Jupyter Notebook, Python, Pandas, Scikit-Learn, Matplotlib, & NLTK.

Challenges we ran into

Considering this is my first Data Science project I wasn't really sure where to start, I looked up a bunch of different tutorials and documentation, and tried to find any resources.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Building a model that uses the Support Vector Machine, it was my first time using that learning method.

What we learned

Many different tools and topics of Data Science & Machine Learning

What's next for Spam Detector

Building a UI for it.
