Finding Deceptive Opinion Spam by Any Stretch of the Imagination
read the original abstract
Consumers increasingly rate, review and research products online. Consequently, websites containing consumer reviews are becoming targets of opinion spam. While recent work has focused primarily on manually identifiable instances of opinion spam, in this work we study deceptive opinion spam---fictitious opinions that have been deliberately written to sound authentic. Integrating work from psychology and computational linguistics, we develop and compare three approaches to detecting deceptive opinion spam, and ultimately develop a classifier that is nearly 90% accurate on our gold-standard opinion spam dataset. Based on feature analysis of our learned models, we additionally make several theoretical contributions, including revealing a relationship between deceptive opinions and imaginative writing.

Why is "Chicago" Predictive of Deceptive Reviews? Using LLMs to Discover Language Phenomena from Lexical Cues
A conjecture-then-validate method lets LLMs convert opaque lexical cues from deceptive-review classifiers into interpretable language phenomena that are empirically grounded and more predictive than direct LLM outputs.

A Single Rewrite Suffices: Empirical Lessons from Production Skill Description Optimization
A single LLM rewrite of skill descriptions using false positive and negative cases matches manual optimization performance in production, with most other pipeline components adding little value.

Beyond Explainable AI (XAI): An Overdue Paradigm Shift and Post-XAI Research Directions
Current XAI methods for DNNs and LLMs rest on paradoxes and false assumptions that demand a paradigm shift to verification protocols, scientific foundations, context-aware design, and faithful model analysis rather th...
