Comparative analysis of algorithms used for Twitter spam drift detection.

Twitter is known to be one of the familiar social networking platform these days, among many others, with a lot of user engagement. This microblogging site encourages social interactions, allowing users to stay up to date on the latest news and events and share them with others in real time. Tweets are limited to 280 characters and is allowed to include links to related websites and tools. With a platform having such wide reach, it is prone to be targeted negatively and spams are one way to do it. Spammers use this platform to display malicious content that is inappropriate and harmful to users worldwide. Machine Learning uses various approaches that can be used to detect spam and overcome it. However, with the advent of recent technologies it has been observed that the properties of tweets vary overtime making it difficult to detect spam leading to the "Twitter Spam Drift" problem. This paper reviews the papers published since 2018 that have focused on the spam drift problem and gives a comparative analysis of the different algorithms that are utilized on the various data sets to tackle such a problem.
