Consequently, manipulating reviews for fame or profit has become prevalent, with some businesses resorting to paying fake reviewers to post spam reviews. Given the importance of reviews in decision-making, detecting fake reviews is crucial to ensure fair competition and sustainable e-business practices. Although significant efforts have been made in the last decade to distinguish credible reviews from fake ones, it remains challenging. Our literature review has identified several gaps in the existing research: (1) most fake review detection techniques have been proposed for high-resource languages such as English and Chinese, and few studies have investigated low-resource and multilingual fake review detection, (2) there is a lack of research on deceptive review detection for reviews based on language code-switching (code-mix), (3) current multi-feature integration techniques extract review representations independently, ignoring correlations between them, and (4) there is a lack of a consolidated model that can mutually learn from review emotion, coarse-grained (overall rating), and fine-grained (aspect ratings) features to supplement the problem of sentiment and overall rating inconsistency. In light of these gaps, this study aims to provide an in-depth literature analysis describing strengths and weaknesses, open issues, and future research directions.</p>","PeriodicalId":54749,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge and Information Systems","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141058605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typical and effective improvement strategies are to assign different weights to different classes or samples, yielding a series of cost-sensitive re-weighting cross-entropy losses. Granted, most of these strategies only focus on the properties of the training data, such as the data distribution and the samples’ distinguishability. This paper works these strategies into a weighted cross-entropy loss framework with a simple production form (<span>(text {WCEL}_{prod })</span>), which takes into account different features of different losses. Also, there is this new loss function, misclassification-guided loss (MGL), that generalizes the class-wise difficulty-balanced loss and utilizes the misclassification rate on validation data to update class weights during training. In respect of MGL, a series of weighting functions with different relative preferences are introduced. Both softmax MGL and sigmoid MGL are derived to address the multi-class and multi-label classification problems. Experiments are undertaken on four public datasets, namely MNIST-LT, CIFAR-10-LT, CIFAR-100-LT, ImageNet-LT, and a self-built dataset of 4 main-classes, 44 sub-classes, and altogether 57,944 images, where the results show that on the self-built dataset, the exponential weighting function achieves higher balanced accuracy than the polynomial function does.

To facilitate this, the Matrix Profile is a data structure that annotates a time series by recording each subsequence’s Euclidean distance to its nearest neighbor. In recent years, the community has shown that using the Matrix Profile it is possible to discover many useful properties of a time series, including repeated behaviors (motifs), anomalies, evolving patterns, regimes, etc. However, the Matrix Profile is limited to representing the relationship between the subsequence’s <i>shapes</i>. It is understood that, for some domains, useful information is conserved not in the subsequence’s shapes, but in the subsequence’s <i>features</i>. In recent years, a new set of features for time series called catch22 has revolutionized feature-based mining of time series. Combining these two ideas seems to offer many possibilities for novel data mining applications; however, there are two difficulties in attempting this. A direct application of the Matrix Profile with the catch22 features would be prohibitively slow. Less obviously, as we will demonstrate, in almost all domains, using all twenty-two of the catch22 features produces poor results, and we must somehow select the subset appropriate for the domain.

However, redundant data and a high level of computing complexity frequently plague ensembles. To choose a subset of models while maintaining the accuracy and diversity of the ensemble, ensemble pruning techniques are used to address these problems. Accuracy and diversity must coexist, even though their goals are conflicting. This is why we formulate the issue of ensemble pruning as a dual-objective maximization problem using the idea from information theory. Then, we propose a Comprehensive Ensemble Pruning Framework (CEPF) based on the dual-objective maximization (DOM) trade-off metric. Extensive evaluation of our framework on the exclusively collected PhysioSense dataset demonstrates the superiority of our method compared to existing pruning techniques. PhysioSense dataset was collected after getting approval from the Institutional Human Ethics Committee (IHEC) of Panimalar Medical College Hospital and Research Institute, Chennai, Tamil Nadu (Protocol No: PMCHRI-IHEC-059). The proposed framework not only preserves or improves ensemble accuracy and diversity but also achieves a significant reduction in actual ensemble size.

Therefore, we propose a multi-scale relational metric network (MSRMN) specifically designed for FKGC, which integrates multiple scales of measurement methods to learn a more comprehensive and compact feature space. In this study, we design a complete neighbor random sampling algorithm to sample complete one-hop neighbor information, and aggregate both one-hop and multi-hop neighbor information to enhance entity representations. Then, MSRMN adaptively obtains prototype representations of relations and integrates three different scales of measurement methods to learn a more comprehensive feature space and a more discriminative feature mapping, enabling positive query entity pairs to obtain higher measurement scores.

These concise summaries offer a compact yet crucial overview that can be much smaller. In addition, they allow the generation of non-redundant high average utility association rules, a crucial factor for decision-makers to consider. However, difficulty arises from the complexity of discovering these representations, primarily because the average utility function does not satisfy both monotonic and anti-monotonic properties within each equivalence class, that is for itemsets sharing the same subset of transactions. To tackle this challenge, this paper proposes an innovative method for efficiently extracting CFHAUIs and GFHAUIs.

Efficient pruning strategies are also designed with the aim of early elimination of non-closed and/or non-generator FHAUIs based on the <span>(wlbau)</span> and <span>(auvlb)</span> bounds, leading to quicker execution and lower memory consumption.
