Current study provides an overview of the methods, features used, detection rate and their limitations (if any) for detecting spam profiles mainly in Twitter.
Evaluating social spammer detection systems
- Computer Science, BusinessACSW
- 2018
Through analysis, this paper can identify the most effective and efficient social spammer detection features and help develop a faster and more accurate classifier model that has higher true positives and lower false positives.
Detecting Spam Tweets using Character N-gram Features
- Computer Science2018 13th International Conference on Computer Engineering and Systems (ICCES)
- 2018
This paper proposes using a low-level character n-grams feature that avoids the use of tokenizers or any language dependent tools, and evaluates the performance of multiple ma-chine learning classifiers with different representations of the proposed feature.
Feature engineering for detecting spammers on Twitter: Modelling and analysis
- Computer ScienceJ. Inf. Sci.
- 2018
This article reviews the latest research works to determine the most effective features that were investigated for spam detection in the literature and reveals the important role of some features like the reputation of the account, average length of the tweet, average mention per tweet, age of the accounts, and the average time between posts in the process of identifying spammers in the social network.
An Analytical Model for Identifying Suspected Users on Twitter
- Computer ScienceCybern. Syst.
- 2019
A prototype has been developed to classify Twitter users as suspicious and nonsuspicious on the basis of features which identify user demographics and their tweeting activity using Twitter APIs based upon user and tweet meta-data.
A Framework for Evaluating Anti Spammer Systems for Twitter
- Computer ScienceOTM Conferences
- 2017
An evaluation framework is proposed that allows researchers, developers, and practitioners to access existing user-based and content-based features, implement their own features, and evaluate the performance of their systems against other systems, to identify the most effective and efficient spammer detection features.
Detecting Malicious Users in Twitter using Classifiers
- Computer ScienceSIN
- 2014
A framework for the detection of malicious users, non-malicious users and celebrities has been developed by using an attribute set for user classification based on user characteristics to identify those forged users.
A Novel Technique to Characterize Social Network Users: Comparative Study
- Computer Science
- 2016
A large dataset of genuine and spam profiles was created and exploited for validation purpose, and a unified framework to classify various types of Twitter users was proposed, showing the effectiveness of the proposed technique based upon promising feature selection.
Interaction-Based Behavioral Analysis of Twitter Social Network Accounts
- Computer ScienceApplied Sciences
- 2019
This article considers methodological approaches to determine and prevent social media manipulation specific to Twitter by using k-nearest neighbor (K-NN), support vector machine (SVM), and artificial neural network (ANN) algorithms.
