Using a hybrid content-based and behaviour-based featuring approach in a parallel environment to detect fake reviews

作者:

Highlights:

• We study fake review detection using machine learning.

• A hybrid approach combining content and behaviour-based features is used.

• Resampling methods are utilised to overcome imbalanced data issues.

• Results show that our proposed approach is promising for fake review detection.

• A parallel cross validation method is introduced to speed up the validation process.
