New dataset released: SMS Spam Collection v.1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The SMS Spam Collection v.1 is a public set of SMS labeled messages
that have been collected for mobile phone spam research. It has one
dataset composed by 5,574 English, real and non-enconded messages,
tagged according being legitimate (ham) or spam.

The collection is free for all purposes, and it is public available
at: http://www.dt.fee.unicamp.br/~tiago/smsspamcollection/

This corpus has been collected from free or free for research sources
at the Internet including the Grumbletext Web site, the NUS SMS
Corpus, Caroline Tag's PhD Thesis, and a smaller previous collection
(SMS Spam Corpus v.0.1: http://www.esp.uem.es/jmgomez/smsspamcorpus/,
available for historic comparison).

A comprehensive study of this corpus can be found in the following
paper, which offers a number of statistics, studies and baseline
results for several machine learning methods:
