Text Classification of Digital Forensic Data

Abstract

This research aims to propose a model to classify text messages that extracted from the smart phone using forensic software and several machine learning algorithms. The data analysis procedure subdivided into physical extraction, relevant partitions, logical extraction, digital forensic analysis, and text classification. In the text classification step, the final result derived by applying sentiment analysis and k-means clustering algorithm under the control of python application. Through this model, we were able to classify most of the messages correctly as either being positive or negative.
