Opt-In Detection Based on Call Detail Records

Opt-in phone calls or emails refer to promotional phone calls or emails that have been requested by the people receiving them. In this paper we propose a model based on dynamic sliding windows to detect opt-in phone calls based on mobile phone call detail records. This work is useful for detecting unwanted calls (e.g., spam) and commercial purposes. For validation of our results, we used actual call logs of 100 users collected at MIT by the Reality Mining Project group for a period of 8 months. The experimental results show that our model achieves good performance with 91% accuracy.
