Abstract

Online customer reviews for both products and merchants have greatly affected others decision making in purchase. Considering the easily accessibility of the reviews and the significant impacts to the retailers, there is an increasing incentive to manipulate the reviews, mostly profit driven. Without proper protection, group spam reviews will cause gradual loss of credibility of the reviews and corrupt the entire online review systems eventually. Therefore, review spam detection is considered as the first step towards securing the online review systems. In this paper, aim to overview existing detection approaches in a systematic way, define key research issues, and articulate future research challenges and opportunities for group review spam detection.
