一种半监督的中文垃圾微博过滤方法

微博作为目前国内外最活跃的信息分享平台之一,其中却充斥着大量的垃圾内容。因此,如何从给定话题的微博数据中,过滤掉与话题不相关的垃圾微博、保留话题相关微博,成为迫切需要解决的问题。该文提出了一种半监督的中文微博过滤方法,基于朴素贝叶斯分类模型和最大期望算法,实现了利用少量标注数据的垃圾微博过滤算法,其优势是仅仅利用少量标注数据就可以获得较为理想的过滤性能。分别对十个话题140 000余条新浪微博数据进行过滤,该文提出的模型准确度和F值优于朴素贝叶斯和支持向量机模型。

A Semi-supervised Method for Filtering Chinese Spam Tweets

Microblogging sites are one of the most popular information sharing platforms today. However, among the large amount of posted published every day, spam texts are seen everywhere: users utilize spam posts to advertise, broadcast, boast their own products, and defame their competitors. Therefore, filtering spam tweets is a critical and fundamental problem. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised algorithm based on Expectation Maximization and Naive Bayesian Classifier (EM-NB), which is able to filter spam tweets effectively using only a small amount of labeled data. The experimental results on more than 140 thousand tweets from Sina Weibo show that our method achieves higher accuracy and F-score than baselines.
