Abstract

On Instagram, the number of followers is a common success indicator. Hence, followers selling services become a huge part of the market. Influencers become bombarded with fake followers and this causes a business owner to pay more than they should for a brand endorsement. Identifying fake followers becomes important to determine the authenticity of an influencer. This research aims to identify fake users' behavior, and proposes supervised machine learning models to classify authentic and fake users. The dataset contains fake users bought from various sources, and authentic users. There are 17 features used, based on these sources: 6 metadata, 3 media info, 2 engagement, 2 media tags, 4 media similarity. Five machine learning algorithms will be tested. Three different approaches of classification are proposed, i.e. classification to 2-classes and 4-classes, and classification with metadata. Random forest algorithm produces the highest accuracy for the 2-classes (authentic, fake) and 4-classes (authentic, active fake user, inactive fake user, spammer) classification, with accuracy up to 91.76%. The result also shows that the five metadata variables, i.e. number of posts, followers, biography length, following, and link availability are the biggest predictors for the users class. Additionally, descriptive statistics results reveal noticeable differences between fake and authentic users.

Abstract

Consumer/customer relationship management (CRM) can potentially influence business as it predicts changes in people’s perspectives, which could impact future sales. Accordingly, advancements in Information Technology are under investigation to see their capabilities to improve the work of CRM. Many prediction techniques, such as Data Mining, Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL), were found to be utilized with CRM. ML methods were found to dominate other approaches in terms of the prediction of consumers’ intention to purchase. This review provides DL algorithms that are mostly used in the last five years, to support CRM to predict purchase intention for better product sales decisions. Prediction criteria related to online activities and behavior were found to be the most inputs of prediction models. DL approaches are slowly applied within purchase intention prediction due to their advanced capabilities in handling large and complicated datasets with minimum human supervision. DL models such as CNN and LSTM result in high accuracy in prediction intention with 98%. Future research uses the two algorithms (CNN, LSTM) compiled to make the best prediction consumption in CRM. Additionally, an effort is being made to create a framework for predicting purchases based on many DL algorithms and the most pertinent characteristics.
