Popis: Social network brings convenience to our life, but it also provides a platform for spammers to spread malicious information and links. Most of the existing methods for identifying spammers mainly rely on the user’s behavior information to learn classification models. But, privacy and information security issues make it impossible to monitor all behavioral of users. In addition, owing to the diversity and variability of spammers’ strategies, it is difficult to distinguish them from legitimate users only by their own behavior. To solve this challenge, in this paper we propose a novel spammer detecting method using DCNN (Diffusion Convolution Neural Network) which is a graph-based model. And DCNN model can learn behavior information from other users through the graph structure (i.e., social network relationships). However, the original DCNN model is a general classification model. In order to make the original DCNN model more effective for detecting spammers, we modify it by using attenuation Coefficient and social Regularization, which is called DCNN+CR model. The experimental results on real-world Twitter dataset show that the proposed DCNN+CR model outperforms existing methods, especially in terms of accuracy and F1-score.
