Detection of Fake Users in SMPs Using NLP and Graph Embeddings

원문 초록

Social Media Platforms (SMPs) like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. have large user base all around the world that generates huge amount of data every second. This includes a lot of posts by fake and spam users, typically used by many organisations around the globe to have competitive edge over others. In this work, we aim at detecting such user accounts in Twitter using a novel approach. We show how to distinguish between Genuine and Spam accounts in Twitter using a combination of Graph Representation Learning and Natural Language Processing techniques.
