Abstract Spammer detection is to identify and block malicious activities performing users. Such users should be identified and terminated from social media to keep the social media process organic and to maintain the integrity of online social spaces. Previous research aimed to find spammers based on hybrid approaches of graph mining, posted content, and metadata, using small and manually labeled datasets. However, such hybrid approaches are unscalable, not robust, particular dataset dependent, and require numerous parameters, complex graphs, and natural language processing (NLP) resources to make decisions, which makes spammer detection impractical for real-time detection.
