Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Phishing has become an increasing threat on online networks with evolving Web, mobile device and social networking technologies.Therefore, there is an urgent need for effective methods and techniques used to detect and prevent phishing attacks.In this paper, a phishing detection model based on decision tree and optimal feature selection is proposed.An optimal feature selection algorithm based on a newly defined feature evaluation metric (f_Value), decision tree and local search is designed to prune out negative and useless features.The overfitting problem in the process of training neural network classifiers is mitigated.The optimal set of sensitive features for feature selection and the optimal structure for training the neural network classifier are constructed by tuning the parameters.Experiments on CART-based phishing detection system and comparative experiments based on different phishing detection models are also conducted.The experimental results show that the model precision, accuracy, and recall of the improved decision tree-based algorithm proposed in the article are 92.7%,96.5%, and 88.3%, respectively, on the dataset of phishtank, and the three metrics are 98.3%, 99.1%, and 99.5%, respectively, on the datasets of Vrbancic-small and show that the proposed CART has a higher performance than the many existing method models.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
