Abstract
The popularity of social networks provides people with many conveniences, but their rapid growth has also attracted many attackers. In recent years, the malicious behavior of social network spammers has seriously threatened the information security of ordinary users. To reduce this threat, many researchers have mined the behavior characteristics of spammers and have obtained good results by applying machine learning algorithms to identify spammers in social networks. However, most of these studies overlook class imbalance situations that exist in real world data. In this paper, we propose a heterogeneous stacking-based ensemble learning framework to ameliorate the impact of class imbalance on spam detection in social networks. The proposed framework consists of two main components, a base module and a combining module. In the base module, we adopt six different base classifiers and utilize this classifier diversity to construct new ensemble input members. In the combination module, we introduce cost sensitive learning into deep neural network training. By setting different costs for misclassification and dynamically adjusting the weights of the prediction results of the base classifiers, we can integrate the input members and aggregate the classification results. The experimental results show that our framework effectively improves the spam detection rate on imbalanced datasets.
