Fraud Application Detection Using Data Mining
Fraud Application Detection Using Data Mining
Objective:
The primary objective is to develop a system that finds ranking, rating and review
behaviors for examining suggestions and then aggregation based on optimization to
combine all the recommendations for detection of fraud.
Project Overview:
Due to the fast growth of usage of mobile devices, mobile apps are essential in day-to-
day activities of most of the people. Ranking and identifying the fraud is the critical challenge
in front of the mobile App market because there is a large number of mobile Apps. App
developers are using delicate means more and more frequently for increasing their Apps sales
or posting fake App ratings. So it is necessary to prevent ranking fraud. This project
introduces a system for mobile apps to rank fraud detection. The proposed method mines the
leading sessions of mobile apps to precisely locate the ranking fraud. Furthermore, the system
finds ranking, rating and review behaviors and investigation of three types of suggestion; they
are ranking based suggestion, rating based suggestion and survey based suggestion is done.
Then, an aggregation method based on optimization to combine all the suggestion for fraud
detection is proposed. The system measure with App data collected from the App Store for an
extended period.
Proposed System:
Fraudulent Apps must be detected, as there is an increase in the number of mobile
apps. This project aims a practical algorithm for identifying the leading sessions of each App
based on its historical ranking of records. With the analysis of ranking behaviors of Apps,
this system recognizes that the fraudulent Apps often has different ranking patterns in their
every leading session compared with usual Apps. Some fraud suggestion identifies from
Apps historical ranking records resulting in the development of three functions to detect
likewise ranking based fraud suggestion. Moreover, two types of fraud suggestion based on
Apps rating and review history are proposed.
This project represents the new novel approach for the development of a ranking
fraud detection system for mobile apps. Initially, identification of rating based suggestion is
done. Then identification of review based suggestion then by leading mining sessions ranking
fraud suggestion is collected. And finally, the system performs the aggregation of all three
suggestion to detect fraud apps. This method will offer considerable benefits and provides an
opportunity to prevent fraudulent apps in the market. The important modules include,
Rating Based Suggestions
Review Based Suggestions
Ranking Based Suggestions
Aggregation of suggestion
Preprocessing of ratings: Ratings are between one to five, in this module, it will consider,
the score which is less than or two are considered as worst, three as average and above three
as best ratings. Preprocessing reviews consists of tokenization, stop word removal and
stemming. This new method called aggregation method combines all the three suggestions to
detect the fraud. RapidMiner is used here in this project to identify fraud app using data
mining and sentiment analysis.
