Email spam detection is a critical task in modern communication systems,
essential for maintaining productivity, security, and user experience.
Traditional machine learning and deep learning approaches, while effective in
static settings, face significant limitations in adapting to evolving spam
tactics, addressing class imbalance, and managing data scarcity. These
challenges necessitate innovative approaches that reduce dependency on
extensive labeled datasets and frequent retraining. This study investigates the
effectiveness of Zero-Shot Learning using FLAN-T5, combined with advanced
Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques such as BERT for email spam
detection. By employing BERT to preprocess and extract critical information
from email content, and FLAN-T5 to classify emails in a Zero-Shot framework,
the proposed approach aims to address the limitations of traditional spam
detection systems. The integration of FLAN-T5 and BERT enables robust spam
detection without relying on extensive labeled datasets or frequent retraining,
making it highly adaptable to unseen spam patterns and adversarial
environments. This research highlights the potential of leveraging zero-shot
learning and NLPs for scalable and efficient spam detection, providing insights
into their capability to address the dynamic and challenging nature of spam
detection tasks.
