Spam emails have become an increasing difficulty for the entire web-users.These unsolicited messages waste the resources of network unnecessarily. Customarily, machine learning techniques are adopted for filtering email spam. This article examines the capabilities of the extreme learning machine (ELM) and support vector machine (SVM) for the classification of spam emails with the class level (d). The ELM method is an efficient model based on single layer feed-forward neural network, which can choose weights from hidden layers,randomly. Support vector machine is a strong statistical learning theory used frequently for classification. The performance of ELM has been compared with SVM. The comparative study examines accuracy, precision, recall, false positive, true positive.Moreover, a sensitivity analysis has been performed by ELM and SVM for spam email classification.
