| Summary: | The diverse types of fake text generation practices by spammer make spam detection challenging. Existing works use manually designed discrete textual or behavior features, which cannot capture complex global semantics of text and reviews. Some studies use limited features while neglecting other significant features. However, in case of a large number of features set, the selection of all features leads to overfitting the model and expensive computation. The problem statement of this research paper revolves around addressing challenges concerning feature selection and evolving spammer behavior and linguistic features, with the goal of devising an efficient model for spam detection. The primary objective of this endeavor was to identify the most efficacious subset of features and patterns for the task of spam detection. Spammer behavior features and linguistic features often exhibit complex relationships that influence the nature of spam reviews. The unified representation of features is another challenging task in spam detection. Various deep learning approaches have been proposed for spam detection and classification but these methods are specialized in extracting the features but lack to capture feature dependencies effectively with other features but there is a lack of comprehensive models that integrate linguistic and behavioral features to improve the accuracy of spam detection. The proposed spam detection framework SD-FSL-CLSTM used the fusion of spammer behavior features and linguistic features which automatically detect and classify the spam reviews. Fusion enables the proposed model to automatically learn the interactions between the features during the training process, allowing it to capture complex relationships and make predictions based on both types of features. SD-FSL-CLSTM framework apparently shows the promising result by obtaining a minimum accuracy 97%. |
