An intelligent spam detection framework using fusion of spammer behavior and linguistic. by Amna Iqbal, Muhammad Younas, Muhammad Kashif Hanif, Muhammad Murad, Rabia Saleem, Muhammad Aater Javed

“…However, in case of a large number of features set, the selection of all features leads to overfitting the model and expensive computation. The problem statement of this research paper revolves around addressing challenges concerning feature selection and evolving spammer behavior and linguistic features, with the goal of devising an efficient model for spam detection. …”

From On-Air Rebelliousness to the Cult of Positivity: Mediated Identities and Technological Change in Pump Up the Volume (1990) and Eighth Grade (2018) by Andrea Sofía Regueira Martín

“…Teenage films have depicted the possibilities and dangers of adolescents using technology since personal computers became commonplace in the 1980s. This paper analyses the representation of the relationship between networked virtual spaces and teenage identities in Pump Up the Volume (Allan Moyle, 1990) and Eighth Grade (Bo Burnham, 2018), two teen films in which the use of technology and virtual spaces as a means for self-expression becomes key in the protagonists’ process of identity formation. …”
