Those campaigns, besides being an illegal online activity, are a direct threat to the privacy of the users. Previous short messages spam filtering techniques focus on automatic text classification and do not take message polarity into account. Focusing on phone SMS messages, this work demonstrates that it is possible to improve spam filtering in short message services using sentiment analysis techniques. Using a publicly available labelled (spam/legitimate) SMS dataset, we calculate the polarity of each message and aggregate the polarity score to the original dataset, creating new datasets. We compare the results of the best classifiers and filters over the different datasets (with and without polarity) in order to demonstrate the influence of the polarity. Experiments show that polarity score improves the SMS spam classification, on the one hand, reaching to a 98.91% of accuracy. And on the other hand, obtaining a result of 0 false positives with 98.67% of accuracy. 978-3-319-45509-9 Print 978-3-319-45510-5 Online https://katalogoa.mondragon.edu/janium-bin/janium_login_opac.pl?find&ficha_no=124601 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11984/1183 SMS spam polarity sentiment analysis security Short Messages Spam Filtering Using Sentiment Analysis
