In this research we build a spam detector using BERT pre-trained model that classifies emails and messages by understanding to their context, and we trained our spam detector model using multiple corpuses like SMS collection corpus, Enron corpus, SpamAssassin corpus, Ling-Spam corpus and SMS spam collection corpus, our spam detector performance was 98.62 Detector, BERT, Machine learning, NLP, Transformer, Enron Corpus, SpamAssassin Corpus, SMS Spam Detection Corpus, Ling-Spam Corpus.
