A Deep Neural Network Technique for Detecting Real-Time Drifted Twitter Spam

Amira Abdelwahab, Mohamed Mostafa
2022 Applied Sciences  
The social network is considered a part of most user's lives as it contains more than a billion users, which makes it a source for spammers to spread their harmful activities. Most of the recent research focuses on detecting spammers using statistical features. However, such statistical features are changed over time, and spammers can defeat all detection systems by changing their behavior and using text paraphrasing. Therefore, we propose a novel technique for spam detection using deep neural

Moreover, we embed our technique with initial text paraphrasing for each detected tweet spam. We train our model using different datasets: random, continuous, balanced, and imbalanced. The obtained experimental results showed that our model has promising results in terms of accuracy, precision, and time, which make it applicable to be used in social networks.
