The task of determining whether a comment is real, whether it is written by a bot, or by a specially trained person, has a high degree of relevance. The solution to this problem will allow Internet sites to get rid of comments that are spam and uninformative. Buyers will be able to make a more correct opinion about the value of goods and services by reviews and comments on them. In this paper, we consider some approaches to solving this problem using the Wishart clustering algorithm. In addition to this, we are trying to study which characteristic semantic sequences affect cluster distribution.
