  • Towards a Language Independent Twitter Bot Detector
    Towards a language independent Twitter bot detector Jonas Lundberg1, Jonas Nordqvist2, and Mikko Laitinen3 1 Department of Computer Science, Linnaeus University, V¨axj¨o, Sweden 2 Department of Mathematics, Linnaeus University, V¨axj¨o, Sweden 3 School of Humanities, University of Eastern Finland, Joensuu, Finland Abstract. This article describes our work in developing an application that recognizes automatically generated tweets. The objective of this machine learning application is to increase data accuracy in sociolin- guistic studies that utilize Twitter by reducing skewed sampling and inaccuracies in linguistic data. Most previous machine learning attempts to exclude bot material have been language dependent since they make use of monolingual Twitter text in their training phase. In this paper, we present a language independent approach which classifies each single tweet to be either autogenerated (AGT) or human-generated (HGT). We define an AGT as a tweet where all or parts of the natural language content is generated automatically by a bot or other type of program. In other words, while AGT/HGT refer to an individual message, the term bot refers to non-personal and automated accounts that post con- tent to online social networks. Our approach classifies a tweet using only metadata that comes with every tweet, and we utilize those metadata parameters that are both language and country independent. The em- pirical part shows good success rates. Using a bilingual training set of Finnish and Swedish tweets, we correctly classified about 98.2% of all tweets in a test set using a third language (English). 1 Introduction In recent years, big data from various social media applications have turned the web into a user-generated repository of information in ever-increasing number of areas.

  • Ii Detecting Location Spoofing in Social Media
    Detecting Location Spoofing in Social Media: Initial Investigations of an Emerging Issue in Geospatial Big Data Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Bo Zhao Graduate Program in Geography The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Daniel Z. Sui, Advisor Harvey Miller Ningchuan Xiao ii Copyrighted by Bo Zhao 2015 iii Abstract Location spoofing refers to a variety of emerging online geographic practices that allow users to hide their true geographic locations. The proliferation of location spoofing in recent years has stirred debate about the reliability and convenience of crowd-sourced geographic information and the use of location spoofing as an effective countermeasure to protect individual geo-privacy and national security. However, these polarized views will not contribute to a solid understanding of the complexities of this trend. Even today, we lack a robust method for detecting location spoofing and a holistic understanding about its multifaceted implications. Framing the issue from a critical realist perspective using a hybrid methodology, this dissertation aims to develop a Bayesian time geographic approach for detecting this trend in social media and to contribute to our understanding of this complex phenomenon from multiple perspectives. The empirical results indicate that the proposed approach can successfully detect certain types of location spoofing from millions of geo-tagged tweets. Drawing from the empirical results, I further qualitatively examine motivation for spoofing as well as other generative mechanisms of location spoofing, and discuss its potential social implications. Rather than conveniently dismissing the phenomenon of location spoofing, this dissertation calls on the GIScience community ii to tackle this controversial issue head-on, especially when legal decisions or political policies are reached using data from location-based social media.
