Gmail Now Uses Artificial Neural Networks to Sniff Out Spam

Google will release certain tools for the individuals and organisations who deal with bulk emails and understand the way in which the new system of filtration works. Postmaster Tools will also give senders more insight into their domain’s reputation (send a lot of spam and Gmail will downgrade you) and additional info about how Gmail treats their messages.

Recently, Google has actually been by using machine learning to increase its spam strain, that rely on its 900 mil consumers to pennant high unwelcomed communications within the solutions “report spam” and “not spam” coats button.

The AI will also learn about your individual preferences, too.

Google also notes that the spam filter is now better than ever at rooting out email impersonation, which is where many phishing attacks come from.

While a mere 0.05 percent of wanted mail typically lands in the spam folder, important Gmail messages do occasionally find themselves amongst notices for discounted tires and Lasik eye surgery.

The company on Thursday announced the new tool for the Gmail and revealed that it uses the same intelligence developed for Google Search and Google Now to filter spam emails.

According to the report, Gmail will be much smarter as it will use machine learning instead of algorithms.

“This way they can diagnose any hiccups, study best practices, and help Gmail route their messages to the right place”, product manager Sri Harsha Somanchi said in a blog post.

Google wants to make Gmail the email service with no spam in your inbox, and no “proper” emails in your spam inbox.

The company thinks its new features will improve these numbers even more. It’s nice to see that Google isn’t just cranking up its spam-fighting efforts while leaving legitimate email marketing completely in the dark.
