This project aims to develop a machine-learning model to detect spam messages in SMS text data. It utilizes natural language processing (NLP) techniques and a supervised learning algorithm to classify SMS messages as either spam or non-spam (ham).

The dataset used for this project is the "SMS Spam Collection" from the UCI Machine Learning Repository. It contains a collection of 5,574 SMS messages, labeled as spam or ham. The dataset can be downloaded from [link to dataset] (https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/SMS+Spam+Collection).

The dataset file (sms_spam_dataset.csv) contains two columns:

• label: Indicates whether the message is spam (1) or ham (0).
• text: The actual text content of the SMS message.

To run the project, you need the following dependencies:

• Python 3.x
• pandas
• numpy
• scikit-learn
• nltk (Natural Language Toolkit)
• matplotlib

You can install the required packages by running the following command:

pip install pandas numpy scikit-learn nltk matplotlib

1. Clone the repository or download the project files.

2. Place the sms_spam_dataset.csv file in the project directory.

3. Run the sms_spam_detection.py script to train and evaluate the spam detection model.

4. The script will load the dataset, preprocess the text data, and train a machine learning model using the TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency) technique.

5. After training, the model will be evaluated on a holdout set and the performance metrics (such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score) will be displayed.

6. Finally, you can use the trained model to predict the label (spam/ham) of new SMS messages by modifying the predict function in the script.

The trained model achieved an accuracy of 97.10 % and Precision is 100 % on the test set and performed well in terms of precision, recall, and F1-score.
