- Abstract:
-
Online shopping reviews provide valuable customer information for comparing the quality of products and several other aspects of future purchases. However, spammers are joining this community to mislead and confuse consumers by writing fake or unfair reviews. To detect the presence of spammers, reviewer styles have been scrutinized for text similarity and rating patterns. These studies have succeeded in identifying certain types of spammers. However, there are other spammers who can manipulate their behaviors such that they are indistinguishable from normal reviewers, and thus, they cannot be detected by available techniques. In this paper, we analyze the orientation of comments, extract different features, and use a logic regression model to detect false comments. First, we utilize natural language processing technology to analyze the orientation of comments and compute the departures of those comments from those of the general public. The greater is the deviation, the greater is the probability of the comment being generated by a spammer. Then, we select several other important features and combine them with the logic regression model to identify fake comments. The experimental results verify the greater accuracy of the proposed method.
