Comprehensive Literature Review on Machine Learning Structures for Web Spam Classification
Kwang Leng Goh, Ashutosh Kumar Singh · Procedia Computer Science · 2015
Various Web spam features and machine learning structures were constantly proposed to classify Web spam in recent years. The aim of this paper was to provide a comprehensive machine learning algorithms comparison within the Web spam detection community. Several machine learning algorithms and ensemble meta-algorithms as classifiers, area under receiver operating characteristic as performance evaluation and two public available datasets (WEBSPAM-UK2006 and WEBSPAM-UK2007) were experimented in this study. The results have shown that random forest with variations of AdaBoost had achieved 0.937 in WEBSPAM-UK2006 and 0.852 in WEBSPAM-UK2007.
