Deceptive Opinion Spam Detection Using Deep Level Linguistic Features
Changge Chen, Hai Zhao, Yang Yang · Lecture notes in computer science · 2015
This paper focuses on improving a specific opinion spam detection task, deceptive spam. In addition to traditional word form and other shallow syntactic features, we introduce two types of deep level linguistic features. The first type of features are derived from a shallow discourse parser trained on Penn Discourse Treebank (PDTB), which can capture inter-sentence information. The second type is based on the relationship between sentiment analysis and spam detection. The experimental results over the benchmark dataset demonstrate that both of the proposed deep features achieve improved performance over the baseline.
