  • DETECTING BOTS in INTERNET CHAT by SRITI KUMAR Under The
    DETECTING BOTS IN INTERNET CHAT by SRITI KUMAR (Under the Direction of Kang Li) ABSTRACT Internet chat is a real-time communication tool that allows on-line users to communicate via text in virtual spaces, called chat rooms or channels. The abuse of Internet chat by bots also known as chat bots/chatterbots poses a serious threat to the users and quality of service. Chat bots target popular chat networks to distribute spam and malware. We first collect data from a large commercial chat network and then conduct a series of analysis. While analyzing the data, different patterns were detected which represented different bot behaviors. Based on the analysis on the dataset, we proposed a classification system with three main components (1) content- based classifiers (2) machine learning classifier (3) communicator. All three components of the system complement each other in detecting bots. Evaluation of the system has shown some measured success in detecting bots in both log-based dataset and in live chat rooms. INDEX WORDS: Yahoo!

  • An Empirical Test of Media Richness and Electronic Propinquity THESIS
    An Inefficient Choice: An Empirical Test of Media Richness and Electronic Propinquity THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ted Michael Dickinson Graduate Program in Communication The Ohio State University 2012 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Jesse Fox, Advisor Dr. Brandon van der Heide Copyrighted by Ted Michael Dickinson 2012 Abstract Media richness theory is frequently cited when discussing the strengths of various media in allowing for immediate feedback, personalization of messages, the ability to use natural language, and transmission of nonverbal cues. Most studies do not, however, address the theory’s main argument that people faced with equivocal message tasks will complete those tasks faster by choosing interpersonal communication media with these features. Participants in the present study either chose or were assigned to a medium and then timed on their completion of an equivocal message task. Findings support media richness theory’s prediction; those using videoconferencing to complete the task did so in less time than those using the leaner medium of text chat. Measures of electronic propinquity, a theory proposing a sense of psychological nearness to others in a mediated communication, were also tested as a potential adjunct to media richness theory’s predictions of medium selection, with mixed results.

Computer Science [Honours] University of the Western Cape 2009 Date: September 10, 2009 University of the Western Cape Abstract WEB-BASED INSTANT MESSENGER By Charles Atuchukwu Chairperson of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Bill W. Tucker Department of Computer Science Instant messaging (IM) application has witnessed a tremendous improvement and growth in popularity as a means of internet communication since inception because of its real-time and non real-time nature. Compare to other internet communication methods such as e-mail where you have to wait for the recipient to check his or her email and sent reply, IM is instant when the recipient is online. Traditional IM applications have to be downloaded installed and configured before it can be used; besides, they are platform dependent. These constitutes serious problems for users especially those using the application in public computers such as school libraries, computer labs, and internet cafés, where most of the time the application is not installed and the user will not have administrator’s right to install the application if at all he or she knows how to do that. Web-based instant messenger is the solution to these problems since it does not require any download, installation or configuration and besides it is platform independent. This project will try to implement a web-based instant messaging application. TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS

  • 20 Quick Tips When Considering Web Chat As a Service Channel
    White Paper 20 quick tips when considering web chat as a service channel puzzel.com About this White Paper Increased ownership of multi-channel communications devices has brought about significant changes in people’s behaviours and expectations. 53 per cent of UK adults are now regular media multi-taskers according to a recent Ofcom study - with around 25 per cent regularly engaging in media-meshing (i.e. interacting or communicating about the TV content they are viewing). 49 per cent regularly media-stack (i.e. conduct unrelated media tasks while watching TV)1. This desire to multi-task across different communications channels has also had a major impact on people’s expectations of customer service. Consumers today expect to be in control of the communications process. Rather than be told when and how they can raise service issues, they expect to be given a full range of multi-channel contact options, as well as efficient service with minimal disruption - each and every time they require help. Over the last few years, service departments and organisations have responded to this challenge by delivering: • More digital customer communications channels (e.g. email, SMS, social media, web chat and web self-service) • More customer self-service options (e.g. via the phone or the web) • An increase in non real-time one-to-one communications options (e.g. via email and SMS) Resolving a service query today is no longer something that has to be conducted in real-time by interacting with a live person. With recent technology advances, it is now something that can be done just as effectively by dealing with a person - or an intelligent automated resource - in non real-time.

The data for the research were collected via an online questionnaire that was purposely created for the research. A sample of 26 undergraduate students of Yonsei University, South Korea, were employed for this study. Pre-tests and post-tests were performed to compare between pre-recorded video lectures and live ZOOM lectures. The results show that students prefer pre-recorded video lectures to live ZOOM lectures; 53.8% chose pre-recorded video lectures, 7.7% chose live ZOOM lectures, and 30.8% chose both pre-recorded and ZOOM lectures when they were asked to select their preferred method of learning. Furthermore, we asked several questions, and the mean values were compared. The results of this research showed that pre-recorded video lectures are preferred to live ZOOM lectures due to their flexibility, convenience, and educational effectiveness.

  • Use and Adaptation of Written Language to the Conditions of Computer-Mediated Communication
    Use and Adaptation of Written Language to the Conditions of Computer-Mediated Communication Ylva Hård af Segerstad Department of Linguistics University of Gothenburg, Sweden 2002 Use and Adaptation of Written Language to the Conditions of Computer-Mediated Communication Ylva Hård af Segerstad Doctoral Dissertation Publicly defended in Stora Hörsalen, Humanisten, University of Gothenburg, on December 21, 2002, at 10.00, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Linguistics Göteborg University, Sweden 2002 This volume is a revised version of the dissertation. ISBN 91-973895-3-6 Use and Adaptation of Written Language to the Conditions of Computer-Mediated Communication Abstract The purpose of the present study is to investigate how written language is used and adapted to suit the conditions of four modes of computer-mediated communication (CMC). Texts from email, web chat, instant messaging and mobile text messaging (SMS) have been analyzed. The general human ability to adapt is deemed to underlie linguistic adaptation. A linguistic adaptivity theory is proposed here. It is proposed that three interdependent variables influence language use: synchronicity, means of expression and situation. Two modes of CMC are synchronous (web chat and instant messaging), and two are asynchronous (email and SMS). These are all tertiary means of expression, written and transmitted by electronic means. Production and perception conditions, such as text input technique, limited message size, as well as situational parameters such as relationship between communicators, goal of interaction are found to influence message composition. The dissertation challenges popular assumptions that language is deteriorating because of increased use in CMC. It is argued that language use in different modes of CMC are variants, or repertoires, like any other variants.

The recent advent of AI-MC raises new questions about how technology may shape human communication and requires re-evaluation – and potentially expansion – of many of Computer-Mediated Communication’s (CMC) key theories, frameworks,andfindings.AresearchagendaaroundAI-MCshouldconsiderthedesignofthesetech- nologies and the psychological, linguistic, relational, policy and ethical implications of introducing AI into human–human communication.

In the classic social science understanding of CMC (e.g., Walther & Parks, 2002), the medium and its properties play important roles in modeling how actors use technology to accomplish interpersonal goals.
