PERC: A Personal Email Classifier.

Improving the accuracy of assigning new email messages to small folders can reduce the likelihood of users creating duplicate folders for some topics. In this paper we presented a hybrid classification model, PERC, and use the Enron Email Corpus to investigate the performance of kNN, SVM and PERC in a simulation of a real-time situation. Our results show that PERC is significantly better at assigning messages to small folders. The effects of different parameter settings for the classifiers are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
