Abstract :
In this work, we aim at building a bridge from coarse behavioral data to an effective, quick-response, and robust behavioral model for online identity theft detection. We concentrate on this issue in online social networks (OSNs) where users usually have composite behavioral records, consisting of multidimensional low-quality data, e.g., offline check-ins and online user-generated content (UGC). As an insightful result, we validate that there is a complementary effect among different dimensions of records for modeling users’ behavioral patterns. To deeply exploit such a complementary effect, we propose a joint (instead of fused) model to capture both online and offline features of a user’s composite behavior. We evaluate the proposed joint model by comparing it with typical models and their fused model on two real-world datasets: Foursquare and Yelp. The experimental results show that our model outperforms the existing ones, with the area under the receiver operating characteristic
