Researchers Develop AI Model to Detect ISIS Propaganda and Extremists on Twitter
-
Researchers developed a predictive model to detect extremist users and ISIS-related content on social media platforms like Twitter.
-
The model uses AI techniques like machine learning and natural language processing to analyze tweets and identify propaganda messages.
-
It compared tweets from known ISIS accounts before 2015 to tweets from potential supporters after 2015.
-
The researchers found ISIS uses hashtags and emotive content to manipulate online communities and spread propaganda.
-
The approach of analyzing users and user content could help identify extremist accounts on other platforms beyond just Twitter.
