Due to the huge commercial interests behind online reviews, a tremendousamount of spammers manufacture spam reviews for product reputation manipulation. To further enhance the influence of spam reviews, spammers often collaboratively post spam reviewers within a short period of time, the activities of whom are called collective opinion spam campaign.

The average improvements of our method over the state-of-the-art solutions on dataset AmazonCn and YelpHotel are [14.09
