Fake review detection has been studied by researchers for several years. However, so far all reported studies are based on English reviews. This paper reports a study of detecting fake reviews in Chinese. Our review dataset is from the Chinese review hosting site Dianping, which has built a fake review detection system. They are confident that their algorithm has a very high precision, but they...

Objective: Fake honeys from the Ecuadorian market were collected and analyzed with the quality indicators of the Venezuelan honey norm and a simple test. Method: Ash, free acidity, moisture, reducing sugars, apparent sucrose, qualitative diastase activity, qualitative hydroxymethylfurfural, and a simple test based on the number of phases formed after shaking honey water dilutions with diethyl e...

We present a study of Fake Anti-Virus attacks on the web. Fake AV software masquerades as a legitimate security product with the goal of deceiving victims into paying registration fees to seemingly remove malware from their computers. Our analysis of 240 million web pages collected by Google’s malware detection infrastructure over a 13 month period discovered over 11,000 domains involved in Fak...

We characterise mutations between fake weighted projective spaces, and give explicit formulas for how the weights and multiplicity change under mutation. In particular, we prove that multiplicity-preserving mutations between fake weighted projective spaces are mutations over edges of the corresponding simplices. As an application, we analyse the canonical and terminal fake weighted projective s...

Numerous fake images spread on social media today and can severely jeopardize the credibility of online content to public. In this paper, we employ deep networks to learn distinct fake image related features. In contrast to authentic images, fake images tend to be eye-catching and visually striking. Compared with traditional visual recognition tasks, it is extremely challenging to understand th...

The current study focused on the production of fake geminates across different boundary types in English to investigate the hypothesis that word-internal fake geminates may differ from those that arise across a word boundary. In this study, word-internal geminates arising from affixation, and described as either assimilated or concatenated, were matched to fake geminates arising from sequences ...

An important challenge in the process of tracking and detecting the dissemination of misinformation is to understand the gap in the political views between people that engage with the so called ”fake news”. A possible factor responsible for this gap is opinion polarization, which may prompt the general public to classify content that they disagree or want to discredit as fake. In this work, we ...
