摘要

Spam comments on social media, especially on posts by public persons, disrupt the dissemination of substantive information. This study presents an enhanced approach to spam detection by integrating two frequently neglected components: emojis and post-comment pairings. Emojis, sometimes overlooked in textual analysis, significantly contribute to expressing user intents. This strategy use stacked post-comment pairings to enhance the capture of context and relevance, rather than concentrating exclusively on comments. Utilizing the SpamID-Pair dataset for Indonesian social media, results indicate that the integration of emoji-text characteristics, post-comment pairs, and ensemble voting techniques enhances detection accuracy and F1-scores. The soft voting ensemble and SVM (RBF kernel) attained superior performance, with carefully selected features yielding further enhancements.
