| Electronic mail is a public communication tool in this information era,however, as spam mail continues to overflow, dealing with spam has become a nightmare for those who depend on Emails. It's not only time consuming, more over, Email lost can sometimes cause serious damage and trouble. |
| |
| Those of us who have had similar experiences understand it is very painful. If no spam filter is installed, more than 80% of the mails in the mailbox would be spams, and it would take a couple of minutes to delete them everyday. |
| |
| However, if there is a spam filter, that can automatically filter mails, normal mails are often mistakenly identified as spam, sometimes mis-deleting them causes delay of important events. For this matter, we tried several popular email services, but realized the problem of mails mis-deletion occurs very commonly. |

| Professor SingLing Lee mentioned to me many times during 2004 about the requirement and importance of developing a whole new spam detection technique, as a director of the Computer Center, he could sense the index of suffering from spam is extremely high. We also discussed a lot about the requirements and prospect of the email system in the next generation. Meanwhile, due to the lack of resources, our R&D of search engine got into extreme difficulty in September 2004. |
| |
| Even though we had the confidence and technology base to build a top-ranking engine, without adequate resources and R&D technicians, the technical framework was in vain. After discussing with Patrick, we made a major decision in October 2004; we put off the R&D plan of search engine, jumped into the spam detection system, which needs only few R&D technicians to bring a breakthrough in the technical field with the knowledge base of algorithm and system. |
