An industrial mobile network is crucial for industrial production in the Internet of Things. It guarantees the normal function of machines and the normalization of industrial production. However, this characteristic can be utilized by spammers to attack others and influence industrial production. Users who only share spams, such as links to viruses and advertisements, are called spammers. With the growth of mobile network membership, spammers have organized into groups for the purpose of benefit maximization, which has caused confusion and heavy losses to industrial production. It is difficult to distinguish spammers from normal users owing to the characteristics of multidimensional data. To address this problem, this paper proposes a spammer identification scheme based on Gaussian mixture model (SIGMM) that utilizes machine learning for industrial mobile networks. It provides intelligent identification of spammers without relying on flexible and unreliable relationships. SIGMM combines the presentation of data, where each user node is classified into one class in the construction process of the model. We validate the SIGMM by comparing it with the reality mining algorithm and hybrid fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm using a mobile network dataset from a cloud server. Simulation results show that SIGMM outperforms these previous schemes in terms of recall, precision, and time complexity. © 2005-2012 IEEE.
