spam is posting unsolicited messages or advertising on social media, particularly Twitter. These messages are normally designed to sell specific products and services or links. In this research, we developed a fuzzy control system to detect Arabic spam tweets based on deep learning with a large language model. Initially, we performed text cleaning and further transformed text into vectors with the help of AraGpt and AraBert. Subsequently, we employed a multi-layer perceptron network model in feature extraction of essential features. Finally, we adopted the fuzzy logic control system for classifying spam tweets using features filtered from deep networks. Employing the proposed Fuzzy logic control system provided nearly a 100% comparative to only utilizing the deep neural networks, which yielded an almost 99% throughput for both large language models Aragpt and Arabert, with a 100% F1 score for the Aragpt model and 99% for Arabert model respectively.
