• Abstract: Spam reviews are a pervasive problem on online platforms due to its significant impact on reputation. However, research into spam detection in data streams is scarce. Another concern lies in their need for transparency. Consequently, this paper addresses those problems by proposing an online solution for identifying and explaining spam reviews, incorporating data drift adaptation. It integrates (i) incremental profiling, (ii) data drift detection & adaptation, and (iii) identification of spam reviews employing Machine Learning. The explainable mechanism displays a visual and textual prediction explanation in a dashboard. The best results obtained reached up to 87 % spam F-measure.

  We evaluate the potential of large language models (LLMs), both open-source and commercial, for SMS spam detection. We compare their performance across zero-shot, few-shot, fine-tuning, and chain-of-thought prompting approaches. Fine-tuning emerges as the most effective strategy, with Mixtral achieving 98.6% accuracy and a balanced false positive and false negative rate below 2%.

  We propose to explain the basis of tampered text detection with natural language via large multimodal models. To fill the data gap for this task, we propose a large-scale, comprehensive dataset, ETTD. Elaborate queries are introduced to generate high-quality anomaly descriptions with GPT4o. To automatically filter out low-quality annotations, we also propose to prompt GPT4o to recognize tampered texts.

  Concept drift is a frequent phenomenon in real-world datasets and corresponds to changes in data distribution over time. This paper provides four textual drift generation methods to ease the production of datasets with labeled drifts. Results show that all methods have their performance degraded right after the drifts, and the incremental SVM is the fastest to run and recover the previous performance levels.

  We propose a multidimensional risk assessment of emails to reduce the feasibility of an attacker adapting their email and avoiding detection. We develop a risk assessment framework that includes three models which analyse an email's (1) threat level, (2) cognitive manipulation, and (3) email type. Our Profiler can be used in conjunction with ML approaches, to reduce their misclassifications or as a labeller for large email data sets in the training stage.

  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.

• DFraud3- Multi-Component Fraud Detection freeof Cold-start [50.779498955162644]
  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.
