Overview

Detecting spam comments is the task of text classification in Machine Learning. Spam comments on social media platforms are the type of comments posted to redirect the user to another social media account, website or any piece of content.

To detect spam comments with Machine Learning, we need labelled data of spam comments. Luckily, I found a dataset on Kaggle about YouTube spam comments which will be helpful for the task of spam comments detection.

The dataset contains the following columns:

  • comment_id: Unique identifier for each comment.
  • author: Name of the author who posted the comment.
  • date: Date when the comment was posted.
  • content: The text content of the comment.
