Detecting robots on Online Social Networks, mainly Twitter
What are socialbots?
Socialbots are automated accounts on Online Social Networks and may perform malicious activities like spamming, follow a user (“fake follower”) or leverage fake news.
What is Socialbot Detector (SBD)
SBD is a platform based on a Ph.D. thesis which proposes new methodologies of building reference datasets and labeling data. The job is done using Machine Learning and Fuzzy Logic to predict whether an account is a socialbot or a human being. SBD reaches at least a 90% accuracy in both classes.
For the moment, SBD is able to inspect Twitter accounts and was tested with real and public Twitter data. SBD is independent of language or type of bot.
