On Profiling Bots In Social Media, Richard J. Oentaryo, Arinto Murdopo, Philips K. Prasetyo, Ee Peng Lim

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The popularity of social media platforms such as Twitter has led to the proliferation of automated bots, creating both opportunities and challenges in information dissemination, user engagements, and quality of services. Past works on profiling bots had been focused largely on malicious bots, with the assumption that these bots should be removed. In this work, however, we find many bots that are benign, and propose a new, broader categorization of bots based on their behaviors. This includes broadcast, consumption, and spam bots. To facilitate comprehensive analyses of bots and how they compare to human accounts, we develop a systematic profiling …


A Summary Of Classification And Regression Tree With Application, Adem Meta Oct 2016

A Summary Of Classification And Regression Tree With Application, Adem Meta

UBT International Conference

Classification and regression tree (CART) is a non-parametric methodology that was introduced first by Breiman and colleagues in 1984. CART is a technique which divides populations into meaningful subgroups that allows the identification of groups of interest. CART as a classification method constructs decision trees. Depending on information that is available about the dataset, a classification tree or a regression tree can be constructed. The first part of this paper describes the fundamental principles of tree construction, pruning procedure and different splitting algorithms. The second part of the paper answers the questions why or why not the CART method should …


Towards An Infodemiological Algorithm For Classification Of Filipino Health Tweets, Ma. Regina Justina E. Estuar, Kennedy E. Espina, Delfin Jay Sabido Ix, Raymond Josef Edward Lara, Vikki Car De Los Reyes Jan 2016

Towards An Infodemiological Algorithm For Classification Of Filipino Health Tweets, Ma. Regina Justina E. Estuar, Kennedy E. Espina, Delfin Jay Sabido Ix, Raymond Josef Edward Lara, Vikki Car De Los Reyes

Department of Information Systems & Computer Science Faculty Publications

Finding innovative ICT solutions to enhance the Philippines’ health sector is part and parcel of the Philippine eHealth Strategic Framework and Plan 2020 program. This study sees the opportunity of using collected Twitter data to create a model that processes tweets to produce a dataset that may be relevant in the field of epidemiology and infodemiology. Through the collection of relevant tweets, future studies may make use of the output of this research for various purposes, such as the improvement of epidemiological systems of the Department of Health in support of the eHealth strategy. In this study, we …
