A System to Filter Unwanted
Messages from OSN User Walls

Abstract
One fundamental issue in todays Online Social
Networks (OSNs) is to give users the ability to control
the messages posted on their own private space to
avoid that unwanted content is displayed. Up to now,
OSNs provide little support to this requirement.
To fill the gap, in this paper, we propose a system
allowing OSN users to have a direct control on the
messages posted on their walls.
This is achieved through a flexible rule-based system,
that allows users to customize the filtering criteria to be
applied to their walls, and a Machine Learning-based
soft classifier automatically labeling messages in
Existing System
Online Social Networks (OSNs) are today one of the most popular interactive medium to
communicate, share, and disseminate a considerable amount of human life information. Daily
and continuous communications imply the exchange of several types of content, including free
text, image, audio, and video data. According to Facebook statistics1 average user creates 90
pieces of content each month, whereas more than 30 billion pieces of content (web links, news
stories, blog posts, notes, photo albums, etc.) are shared each month.
The huge and dynamic character of these data creates the premise for the employment of web
content mining strategies aimed to automatically discover useful information dormant within the
data. They are instrumental to provide an active support in complex and sophisticated tasks
involved in OSN management, such as for instance access control or information filtering.
Information filtering has been greatly explored for what concerns textual documents and, more
recently, web content (e.g., [1], [2], [3]).
However, the aim of the majority of these proposals is mainly to provide users a classification
mechanism to avoid they are overwhelmed by useless data. In OSNs, information filtering can
also be used for a different, more sensitive, purpose. This is due to the fact that in OSNs there is
the possibility of posting or commenting other posts on particular public/private areas, called in
general walls. Information filtering can therefore be used to give users the ability to automatically
control the messages written on their own walls, by filtering out unwanted messages.

CONCLUSION
In this paper, we have presented a system to filter undesired messages from OSN walls. The
system exploits a ML soft classifier to enforce customizable content-dependent FRs.
Moreover, the flexibility of the system in terms of filtering options is enhanced through the
management of BLs.
This work is the first step of a wider project. The early encouraging results we have obtained
on the classification procedure prompt us to continue with other work that will aim to improve
the quality of classification. In particular, future plans contemplate a deeper investigation on
two interdependent tasks. The first concerns the extraction and/ or selection of contextual
features that have been shown to have a high discriminative power.
The second task involves the learning phase. Since the underlying domain is dynamically
changing, the collection of preclassified data may not be representative in the longer term.
The present batch learning strategy, based on the preliminary collection of the entire set of
labeled data from experts, allowed an accurate experimental evaluation but needs to be
evolved to include new operational requirements. In future work, we plan to address this
problem by investigating the use of online learning paradigms able to include label feedbacks
from users. Additionally, we plan to enhance our system with a more sophisticated approach
to decide when a user should be inserted into a BL.
