I guess it depends on what features you want to use to detect those fake
profiles.
If you want to look at network features of the social graph there is not

I am currently searching an interesting topic for my MSc dissertation in
Internet Systems. One interesting area is the detection of fake profiles or
fraudulent activities in social networks. Is Mahout good for this purpose?
And if it is can someone enlighten me with a good place/area to start with
since I am new to Mahout. Thanks.Neville
