 Abstract— Detection of fake review and reviewers is currently a challenging problem in cyber space. It is challenging primarily due to the dynamic nature of the methodology used to fake the review. There are several aspects to be considered when analyzing reviews to classify them effective into genuine and fake. Sentiment analysis, opinion mining and intend mining are fields of research that try to accomplish the goal through Natural Language Processing of the text content of the review.  In this paper, an approach that uses the review ratings evaluated along a timeline is presented. An Amazon dataset comprising of ratings indicated for a wide range of products was used for the analysis presented here. The analysis of the ratings was carried out for an electronic product over a period of six years.  The computed average rating helps to identify linear classifiers that define solution boundaries within the dataspace. This enables a product specific classification of review ratings and suitable recommendations can also be generated automatically. The paper explains a methodology to evaluate the average product ratings over time and presents the research outcomes using a novel classification tool. The proposed approach helps to determine the optimal point to distinguish between fake and genuine ratings for each product.    Index Terms: Fake reviews, Fake Ratings, Product Ratings, Online Shopping, Amazon Dataset.

Various fields like Text Mining, Linguistics, Decision Making and Natural Language Processing together form the basis for Opinion Mining or Sentiment Analysis. People share their feelings, observations and thoughts on social media, which has emerged as a powerful tool for rapidly growing enormous repository of real time discussions and thoughts shared by people. In this paper, we aim to decipher the current popular opinions or emotions from various sources, hence, contributing to sentiment analysis domain. Text from social media, blogs and product reviews are classified according to the sentiment they project. We re-examine the traditional processes of sentiment extraction, to incorporate the increase in complexity and number of the data sources and relevant topics, while re-populating the meaning of sentiment. Working across and within numerous streams of social media, expression of sentiment and classification of polarity is re-examined, thereby redefining and enhancing the realm of sentiment. Numerous social media streams are analyzed to build datasets that are topical for each stream and are later polarized according to their sentiment expression. In conclusion, defining a sentiment and developing tools for its analysis in real time of human idea exchange is the motive.

Now day’s world is full of Internet, almost all work can be done with the help of it, from simple mobile phone recharge to biggest business process can be done with the help of this technology. People spent their amount of the time surfing on the Web it becomes a new source of entertainment, education, banking, social media, shopping etc. Internet users not only use these websites but also give their opinions and suggestions about internet sources that will be useful for more users who are interested in sites. Like this large amount of opinions and reviews are collected from many users on the Web that needs to be explored, analysed and organized for better decision making. Opinion Mining or Sentiment Analysis, it is widely based on Natural language processing technique and user’s reviews or opinions or suggestions are identified by the information Extraction task. The views reviewed by user explained in the form of positive, negative or natural comments and quotes underlying the text. These reviews are analysed to determine the opinion of the users about the objects. It is impossible to manually analyse those reviews. To overcome the problem, many algorithms are proposed for mining the opinions of the users. Algorithms enable us to extract opinions from the Internet and predict customer's preferences. This paper presents various techniques used for opinion classification by different authors and its accuracy in the classification of opinions.

Reviewing the product is an important step for e-commerce platforms. Getting reviews from customers and analysis of reviews consumes many resources. As the number of reviews received day by day is increasing very rapidly, reviews should be classified as fake review and Genuine reviews. The total accumulation of reviews and analysis is different from natural language processing problem. Spammers are hired for biased reviewing of products. In this paper we put a novel comparison between purchase list and reviews. We have applied a method for finding duplicate reviews; measure the total numbers of reviews and their mismatch in counts, at the end count dispersion for every product and classification of reviews. We applied data science approach for classification and visualization to get fake reviews. We label the reviews either positive or negative based on comparison between them. A data science approach is applied because for a well-known product the reviews can goes up to many thousands.

AbstractFörster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a useful phenomenon in biomolecular investigations, as it can be leveraged for nano-scale measurements. The optical signals produced by such experiments can be analyzed by fitting a statistical model. Several software tools exist to fit such models in an unsupervised manner, but their operating system-dependent installation requirements and lack of flexibility impede wide-spread adoption. Here we propose to fit such models more efficiently and intuitively by adopting a semi-supervised approach, in which the user interactively guides the model to fit a given dataset, and introduce FRETboard, a web tool that allows users to provide such guidance. We show that our approach is able to closely reproduce ground truth FRET statistics in a wide range of simulated single-molecule scenarios, and correctly estimate parameters for up to eleven states. On in vitro data we retrieve parameters identical to those obtained by laborious manual classification in a fraction of the required time. Moreover, we designed FRETboard to be easily extendable to other models, allowing it to adapt to future developments in FRET measurement and analysis.Availabilitysource code is available at https://github.com/cvdelannoy/FRETboard. The FRETboard classification tool is also available as a browser application at https://www.bioinformatics.nl/FRETboard.

Sentiment Analysis (SA) systems are very common because most people trust it based on the opinions, emotions, attitudes and feelings shared by the users for decision making purposes about the product, service, news analytics etc. Sentiment analysis or opinion mining is used to automatically detect and classify sentiments into positive, negative or neutral opinion on product or service through certain algorithms. The expeditious growth of internet leads to the increase of reviews about product, services, movies, restaurants or vacation destinations and organizations. In order to increase or decrease the market value of the product, spammers may give the fake ratings. Sentiment Analysis system face great difficulties in deploying the algorithms to classify each review as either honest review, posted by the customers after using the products, or spam review, posted by the individual spammer or spammer groups. Another major challenge faced by the sentiment analysis system is that it lacks the accuracy of predicting implicit and explicit features present in the dataset is low, which is the major challenge in opinion mining system. The proposed system deals with text pre-processing which helps in improving the overall performance of the sentiment analysis systems and an effective system is developed to identify the fake reviews present in the dataset. Association Rule Mining along with K-Means clustering is used to achieve higher efficiency in classification of implicit and explicit features. Lexicon method is used for the classification of sentiments into positive and negative polarities. The advantage of proposed system is that, it can identify and remove the fake reviews in the dataset and extraction of both implicit and explicit feature can be identified through Lexicon based Method along with its polarities.

Objectives: To identify early suicide risk signs on depressive subjects, so that specialized care can be provided. Various studies have focused on studying expressions on social networks, where users pour their emotions, to determine if they show signs of depression or not. However, they have neglected the quantification of the risk of committing suicide. Therefore, this article proposes a new index for identifying suicide risk in Mexico. Methodology: The proposal index is constructed through opinion mining using Twitter and the Analytic Hierarchy Process. Contribution: Using R statistical package, a study is presented considering real data, making a classification of people according to the obtained index and using information from psychologists. The proposed methodology represents an innovative prevention alternative for suicide.
