• Abstract: Online reviews are potent sources for industry owners and buyers, however opportunistic people may try to destruct or promote their desired product by publishing fake comments named spam opinion. So far, many models have been developed to detect spam opinions, but none have addressed the issue of spam attack. It is a way a smart spammer can deceive the system in a manner in which he can continue generating spams without the fear of being detected and blocked by the system. In this paper, the spam attacks are discussed. Moreover, a robust graph-based spam detection method is proposed. The method respectively estimates honesty, trust and reliability values of reviews, reviewers, and products considering possible deception scenarios. The paper also presents the efficiency of the proposed method as compared to other graph-based methods through some case studies.

  Backdoor attacks aim to surreptitiously insert malicious triggers into DNN models, granting unauthorized control during testing scenarios. Existing methods lack robustness against defense strategies and predominantly focus on enhancing trigger stealthiness while randomly selecting poisoned samples. We introduce a straightforward yet highly effective sampling methodology that leverages confidence scores. Specifically, it selects samples with lower confidence scores, significantly increasing the challenge for defenders in identifying and countering these attacks.

  We propose to leverage the high-quality elite Yelp reviews to generate fake reviews from the OpenAI GPT review creator. We apply the model to predict non-elite reviews and identify the patterns across several dimensions. We show that social media platforms are continuously challenged by machine-generated fake reviews.

  We introduce the novel approach towards fake text reviews detection in collaborative filtering recommender systems. The existing algorithms concentrate on detecting the fake reviews, generated by language models and ignore the texts, written by dishonest users. We propose the contrastive learning-based architecture, which utilizes the user demographic characteristics, along with the text reviews, as the additional evidence against fakes.

  In many online sites, there are options for posting reviews, and thus creating scopes for fake paid reviews or untruthful reviews. These concocted reviews can mislead the general public and put them in a perplexity whether to believe the review or not. Prominent machine learning techniques have been introduced to solve the problem of spam review detection.

  Malicious reviewers strategically bid in order to unethically manipulate the paper assignment. A critical impediment towards creating and evaluating methods to mitigate this issue is the lack of publicly-available data on malicious paper bidding. We release a novel dataset, collected from a mock conference activity where participants were instructed to bid either honestly or maliciously.

Experiments on TripAdvisor and YelpZip datasets show that the proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art techniques by at least 7% in terms of accuracy when labeled data is limited.
