Abstract

Abstract: With the continuous evolve of E-commerce systems, online reviews are mainly considered as a crucial factor for building and maintaining a good reputation. Moreover, they have an effective role in the decision making process for end users. Usually, a positive review for a target object attracts more customers and lead to high increase in sales. Nowadays, deceptive or fake reviews are deliberately written to build virtual reputation and attracting potential customers. Thus, identifying fake reviews is a vivid and ongoing research area. Identifying fake reviews depends not only on the key features of the reviews but also on the behaviours of the reviewers. This paper proposes a machine learning approach to identify fake reviews. In addition to the features extraction process of the reviews, this paper applies several features engineering to extract various behaviours of the reviewers. The paper compares the performance of several experiments done on a real Yelp dataset of restaurants reviews, we compare the performance of machine learning classifiers; KNN, Naive Bayes (NB), Logistic Regression. The results reveal that Logistic Regression outperforms the rest of classifiers in terms of accuracy achieving best. The results show that the system has better ability to detect a review as fake or original.
