Abstract
This thesis work considers the classification of messages posted on social networking sites as a step towards identifying interesting/uninteresting messages. As first approximation, a message is represented by a few attributes including the message length (number of words), posting frequency (time difference between consecutive messages) for the same sender, comments and likes (received for the previous posts). Keywords in the posts can also be considered as a parameter. A classifier, trained according to the user's perception of whether a message is interesting or not, is used to label each message. In this thesis we consider the two different classifiers, k- Nearest Neighbor Classifier and Naive Bayes Classifier. Facebook is considered for illustration purposes.
