Online reviews play a crucial role in helping consumers evaluate and compare products and services. However, review hosting sites are often targeted by opinion spamming. In recent years, many such sites have put a great deal of effort in building effective review filtering systems to detect fake reviews and to block malicious accounts. Thus, fraudsters or spammers now turn to compromise, purchase or even raise reputable accounts to write fake reviews. Based on the analysis of a real-life dataset from a review hosting site (dianping.com), we discovered that reviewers posting rates are bimodal and the transitions between different states can be utilized to differentiate spammers from genuine reviewers. Inspired by these findings, we propose a two-mode Labeled Hidden Markov Model to detect spammers. Experimental results show that our model significantly outperforms supervised learning using linguistic and behavioral features in identifying spammers. Furthermore, we found that when a product has a burst of reviews, many spammers are likely to be actively involved in writing reviews to the product as well as to many other products. We then propose a novel co-bursting network for detecting spammer groups. The co-bursting network enables us to produce more accurate spammer groups than the current state-of-the-art reviewer-product (co-reviewing) network.

Temporal graphs are ubiquitous. Mining communities that are bursting in a period of time is essential to seek emergency events in temporal graphs. Unfortunately, most previous studies for community mining in temporal networks ignore the bursting patt
erns of communities. In this paper, we are the first to study a problem of seeking bursting communities in a temporal graph. We propose a novel model, called (l, {delta})-maximal dense core, to represent a bursting community in a temporal graph. Specifically, an (l, {delta})-maximal dense core is a temporal subgraph in which each node has average degree no less than {delta} in a time segment with length no less than l. To compute the (l, {delta})-maximal dense core, we first develop a novel dynamic programming algorithm which can calculate the segment density efficiently. Then, we propose an improved algorithm with several novel pruning techniques to further improve the efficiency. In addition, we also develop an efficient algorithm to enumerate all (l, {delta})-maximal dense cores that are not dominated by the others in terms of the parameters l and {delta}. The results of extensive experiments on 9 real-life datasets demonstrate the effectiveness, efficiency and scalability of our algorithms.
How can we model influence between individuals in a social system, even when the network of interactions is unknown? In this article, we review the literature on the influence model, which utilizes independent time series to estimate how much the sta
te of one actor affects the state of another actor in the system. We extend this model to incorporate dynamical parameters that allow us to infer how influence changes over time, and we provide three examples of how this model can be applied to simulated and real data. The results show that the model can recover known estimates of influence, it generates results that are consistent with other measures of social networks, and it allows us to uncover important shifts in the way states may be transmitted between actors at different points in time.
Network embedding aims to learn low-dimensional representations of nodes while capturing structure information of networks. It has achieved great success on many tasks of network analysis such as link prediction and node classification. Most of exist
ing network embedding algorithms focus on how to learn static homogeneous networks effectively. However, networks in the real world are more complex, e.g., networks may consist of several types of nodes and edges (called heterogeneous information) and may vary over time in terms of dynamic nodes and edges (called evolutionary patterns). Limited work has been done for network embedding of dynamic heterogeneous networks as it is challenging to learn both evolutionary and heterogeneous information simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic heterogeneous network embedding method, termed as DyHATR, which uses hierarchical attention to learn heterogeneous information and incorporates recurrent neural networks with temporal attention to capture evolutionary patterns. We benchmark our method on four real-world datasets for the task of link prediction. Experimental results show that DyHATR significantly outperforms several state-of-the-art baselines.
Nowadays, with the rise of Internet access and mobile devices around the globe, more people are using social networks for collaboration and receiving real-time information. Twitter, the microblogging that is becoming a critical source of communicatio
n and news propagation, has grabbed the attention of spammers to distract users. So far, researchers have introduced various defense techniques to detect spams and combat spammer activities on Twitter. To overcome this problem, in recent years, many novel techniques have been offered by researchers, which have greatly enhanced the spam detection performance. Therefore, it raises a motivation to conduct a systematic review about different approaches of spam detection on Twitter. This review focuses on comparing the existing research techniques on Twitter spam detection systematically. Literature review analysis reveals that most of the existing methods rely on Machine Learning-based algorithms. Among these Machine Learning algorithms, the major differences are related to various feature selection methods. Hence, we propose a taxonomy based on different feature selection methods and analyses, namely content analysis, user analysis, tweet analysis, network analysis, and hybrid analysis. Then, we present numerical analyses and comparative studies on current approaches, coming up with open challenges that help researchers develop solutions in this topic.
Performance characterization is a fundamental issue in wireless networks for real time routing, wireless network simulation, and etc. There are four basic wireless operations that are required to be modeled, i.e., unicast, anycast, broadcast, and mul
ticast. As observed in many recent works, the temporal and spatial distribution of packet receptions can have significant impact on wireless performance involving multiple links (anycast/broadcast/multicast). However, existing performance models and simulations overlook these two wireless behaviors, leading to biased performance estimation and simulation results. In this paper, we first explicitly identify the necessary 3-Dimension information for wireless performance modeling, i.e., packet reception rate (PRR), PRR spatial distribution, and temporal distribution. We then propose a comprehensive modeling approach considering 3-Dimension Wireless information (called 3DW model). Further, we demonstrate the generality and wide applications of 3DW model by two case studies: 3DWbased network simulation and 3DW-based real time routing protocol. Extensive simulation and testbed experiments have been conducted. The results show that 3DW model achieves much more accurate performance estimation for both anycast and broadcast/multicast. 3DW-based simulation can effectively reserve the end-to-end performance metric of the input empirical traces. 3DW-based routing can select more efficient senders, achieving better transmission efficiency.
