This is a large corpus of 42,619 preprocessed text messages and emails sent by humans in 43 languages. `is_spam=1` means spam and `is_spam=0` means ham.

1040 rows of balanced data, consisting of casual conversations and scam emails in ≈10 languages, were manually collected and annotated by me, with some help from ChatGPT.

### Some preprcoessing algorithms
- [spam_assassin.js](./spam_assassin.js), followed by [spam_assassin.py](./spam_assassin.py)
- [enron_spam.py](./enron_spam.py)

### Data composition

### Description
To make the text format between sms messages and emails consistent, email subjects and content are separated by two newlines:

```python
text = email.subject + "\n\n" + email.content
```

<br>

### Suggestions
- If you plan to train a model based on this dataset alone, I recommend adding **some** rows with `is_toxic=0` from `FredZhang7/toxi-text-3M`. Make sure the rows aren't spam.
