Abstract

Authenticity and reliability of the information spread over the cyberspace is becoming increasingly important. This is especially important in e-commerce since potential customers check reviews and customer feedbacks online before making a purchasing decision. Although this information is easily accessible through related websites, lack of verification of the authenticity of these reviews raises concerns about their reliability. Besides, fraudulent users disseminate misinformation to deceive people into acting against their interest. So, detection of fake and unreliable reviews is a crucial problem that must be addressed by the security researchers.
