摘要

As social media usage continues to grow across the globe, the detection of fake accounts has become increasingly challenging and crucial for platform integrity. A major obstacle in this domain lies in the complexity of graph-structured data, which contains numerous nodes and unrelated features, often making data analysis and its manipulation harder. Additionally, such data structures frequently suffer from imbalanced classes, which creates further challenges for accurate detection. For our study, we used Twitter’s (now “X”) social media data, represented as a graph structure, where nodes represent individual users, and edges denote the connections between them, forming a vast and intricate network. This approach of graph representation can effectively address significant issues related to both imbalanced datasets and limited labeled data. Therefore, we implemented an Autoencoder along with a type of neural network technique called a Semi-supervised Generative Adversarial Network (SGAN), which can handle scenarios with few labeled samples. The results of this test ultimately showed that the accuracy reached 81% in detecting fake accounts, even when using only 100 labeled samples.
