Linking Multiple Identities in Online Social Networks Based on Co-Occurrence Analysis

When tackling the problem of mining multiple fake identities which are controlled by the same individual in internet, traditional techniques used to analyze the posted comments using text-based methods. However, these texts are always in colloquial style which make the effect may not be as obvious as expected. In this paper a new multiple identities linking algorithm is proposed based on the fine-grained analysis of co-occurrence degree of user accounts using sliding window model. Finally, a series of experiments show the effectiveness of our proposed method.
