• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: A robust and reliable system of detecting spam reviews is a crying need in todays world in order to purchase products without being cheated from online sites. 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. The majority of current research has concentrated on supervised learning methods, which require labeled data - an inadequacy when it comes to online review. Our focus in this article is to detect any deceptive text reviews. In order to achieve that we have worked with both labeled and unlabeled data and proposed deep learning methods for spam review detection which includes Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and a variant of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) that is Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). We have also applied some traditional machine learning classifiers such as Nave Bayes (NB), K Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) to detect spam reviews and finally, we have shown the performance comparison for both traditional and deep learning classifiers.

  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.

  Online reviews play a crucial role in helping consumers evaluate and compare products and services. Fake reviews (opinion spam) are becoming more prevalent and negatively impacting customers and service providers. We propose a new method for classifying reviewers as spammers or benign, combining machine learning with a message-passing algorithm.

  In the era of deep learning, a user often leverages a third-party machine learning tool to train a deep neural network (DNN) classifier. In an information embedding attack, an attacker is the provider of a malicious third-party machine learning tool. In this work, we aim to design information embedding attacks that are verifiable and robust against popular post-processing methods.

  The Cold-start is a significant problem referring to the failure of a detection system to recognize the authenticity of a new user. In this paper, we model a review system as a Heterogeneous InformationNetwork (HIN) which enables a unique representation to every component. HIN with graph induction helps to address the camouflage issue (fraudsterswith genuine reviews) which has shown to be more severe when it is coupled with cold-start, i.e., new fraudsters with genuine first reviews.
