Abstract
Emails or other communications are labeled with a category label such as 'spam' or “good” without using confidential or Personally Identifiable Information (PII). The category label is based on features of the emails such as metadata that do not contain PII. Graphs of inferred relationships between email features and category labels are used to assign labels to emails and to features of the emails. The labeled emails are used as a training dataset for training a machine learning model (“MLM”). The MLM identifies unwanted emails such as spam, bulk email, phishing email, and emails that contain malware.
