Fault Management is a vital issue for any network operator since the beginning of the telecommunications era. As networks have become more and more complex, their management systems are crucial for any operator company. In this ecosystem, the Software‐Defined Networking (SDN) approach has appeared as a possible solution for different networking issues. The flexibility provided by SDN to the network management enables a great dynamism in the configuration of network devices. However, this feature introduces the cost of a potential increase in failures because every modification introduced on the control plane is a new possibility for failures to appear and cause a decrement of the quality for offered services. Because of the growing pace of the networks, the classical approach is not feasible to cope that dynamism. Increasing the number of human operators in charge of the fault management process would increase the operation cost dramatically. Thus, this paper presents an approach to apply machine learning over a big data framework for an autonomous fault management process in SDN networks. In this paper, we present a Semantic Data Lake framework for a self‐diagnosis service, which is deployed on top of an SDN management platform. Moreover, we have developed a prototype of the proposed service with different diagnosis models for SDN networks. Models and algorithms have been evaluated showing good results.

El artículo A framework for fake review detection in online consumer electronics retailers, por Rodrigo Barbado, Oscar Araque y Carlos A. Iglesias has sido aceptado y publicado en la revista Information Processing & Management. Esta revista se encuentra indexada en JCR: (Q1, 3.444).

 

Abstract:The impact of online reviews on businesses has grown significantly during last years, being crucial to determine business success in a wide array of sectors, ranging from restaurants, hotels to e-commerce. Unfortunately, some users use unethical means to improve their online reputation by writing fake reviews of their businesses or competitors. Previous research has addressed fake review detection in a number of domains, such as product or business reviews in restaurants and hotels. However, in spite of its economical interest, the domain of consumer electronics businesses has not yet been thoroughly studied. This article proposes a feature framework for detecting fake reviews that has been evaluated in the consumer electronics domain. The contributions are fourfold: (i) Construction of a dataset for classifying fake reviews in the consumer electronics domain in four different cities based on scraping techniques; (ii) definition of a feature framework for fake review detection; (iii) development of a fake review classification method based on the proposed framework and (iv) evaluation and analysis of the results for each of the cities under study. We have reached an 82% F-Score on the classification task and the Ada Boost classifier has been proven to be the best one by statistical means according to the Friedman test.
