SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING UNWANTED PHONE MESSAGES

A computer-implemented method for generating a machine-learning model can include receiving, at a computing device having one or more processors, a plurality of reported phone numbers from telephone users, a plurality of posted phone numbers from one or more websites, and transcriptions of messages associated with a plurality of calling phone numbers. The machine-learning model is generated based on these various inputs and stored at the computing device. The model is configured to determine a probability that an unknown phone message is unwanted based on a phone number from which the unknown phone message originated.
