COMMERCE FAKE PRODUCT REVIEWS MONITORING AND DETECTION
- 1. COMMERCE FAKE PRODUCT REVIEWS MONITORING AND DETECTION SYSTEM Abstract Online consumer reviews play an important role in helping consumers judge the quality and authenticity of products on e-commerce platforms. However, the constant presence of fake reviews on these platforms has significantly impacted the operation and development of e- commerce platforms. In this study, we develop a novel supervised probabilistic method to detect fake reviews by utilizing the difference in the distribution of non-fraudulent reviews and that of fake reviews. Specifically, we first derive the univariate distributions of several unique features (linguistic, behavioral, and interrelationship features). We then integrate these distributions into two mixed distributions according to their labels to represent the overall difference between non-fraudulent reviews and fake reviews. Next, we randomly generate synthetic review data points with different labels from the above mixed distributions. Finally, we train a Multilayer Perceptron model by using these synthetic review data to obtain a classifier. We conducted several experiments to test the model using several original real-world review datasets. Numerical results indicated that the proposed supervised method outperformed some well-known sampling models and fake review detection methods, in terms of classification accuracy. Moreover, we extend the proposed method to handle the scenarios with small samples of raw review data. This study contributes to the literature by exploiting the difference in the distribution of non-fraudulent reviews and that of fraudulent reviews, which can improve the accuracy of fake review detection for online platforms. Existing System Detecting fake reviews on e-commerce platforms is critical for maintaining credibility and trust among users. A supervised general mixed probability approach offers a robust method to sift through reviews and identify potential fraudulent ones. By leveraging a combination of machine learning algorithms and probabilistic models, this approach aims to analyze various features within reviews to distinguish between genuine and fake content.The system employs a supervised learning framework, utilizing a labeled dataset to train the model. Features such as sentiment analysis, linguistic patterns, reviewer behavior, review timing, and product information are considered to create a comprehensive feature set. These features are then processed through a mixed probability model, which combines the strengths of different

Additionally, continuous model retraining and adaptation ensure its ability to stay updated with new trends in fraudulent review practices.The goal of this approach is not only to accurately detect fake reviews but also to provide e-commerce platforms with a scalable and adaptable solution to maintain the integrity of their review systems, fostering a trustworthy environment for both consumers and businesses. Drawback in Existing System Data Dependence: This approach heavily relies on labeled datasets for training. Obtaining and maintaining a large and diverse labeled dataset can be challenging and costly. Moreover, the model's effectiveness might decrease if the dataset doesn’t adequately represent evolving fraudulent review tactics. Feature Engineering Complexity: Extracting relevant features from reviews requires sophisticated natural language processing (NLP) techniques. Designing and engineering these features can be complex and computationally intensive. Additionally, the model's performance heavily relies on the quality and relevance of these features. Adaptability to New Techniques: Fraudulent review strategies evolve over time, and new methods constantly emerge. The model might struggle to adapt quickly to these changes, requiring frequent updates and retraining to maintain its effectiveness. Resource Intensive: Implementing and maintaining a mixed probability approach can be computationally demanding. This might pose challenges for smaller e-commerce platforms with limited resources.

Preprocessing and Feature Engineering: Details on data preprocessing techniques and the selection of various features (linguistic, behavioral, temporal) for model training.
