DATA MINING in FORUM

Hello,
I would like to use data mining algorithms to do some data mining on messages from internet forum. But I don't know which algorithm I should use. I want to do this for a school project.
My question is : Which algorithm I should use?
I want to discover patterns in messages from forums. I would like for example to filter spam messages, to detect messages containing insults or other inappropriate behaviors. I think that data mining would be very useful for doing this automatically.
Should I use bayesian networks? Or what else?

HI,
There is a lot of data mining techniques that you could use. Some researchers have tried in the past some approach like latent semantic analysis for automatically evaluating comments in product feedback to determine if they are positive or negative. For Spam filtering, bayesian networks are used in some e-mail systems and had very good success. Of course you could also use other kind of approach like an expert system with many hardcoded rules about what is a good or bad messages in a forum, but that would not be data mining. I guess that for your school project you need to use a data mining technique, so I think that you should look about the work on latent semantic analysis. Good luck in your project.

Hey,
IMO, this is too much work for a school project for a single course. You should try to do something smaller. Or another solution would be to do a simulation. For example, ou could apply some data mining algorithms on some data that you have generated by yourself to show the results. Or if you have the opportunities maybe you should choose another data mining topic like clustering that would be easier to make.Good luck!
