• Abstract: Political campaigns are full of political ads posted by candidates on social media. Political advertisements constitute a basic form of campaigning, subjected to various social requirements. We present the first publicly open dataset for detecting specific text chunks and categories of political advertising in the Polish language. It contains 1,705 human-annotated tweets tagged with nine categories, which constitute campaigning under Polish electoral law. We achieved a 0.65 inter-annotator agreement (Cohen's kappa score). An additional annotator resolved the mismatches between the first two annotators improving the consistency and complexity of the annotation process. We used the newly created dataset to train a well established neural tagger (achieving a 70% percent points F1 score). We also present a possible direction of use cases for such datasets and models with an initial analysis of the Polish 2020 Presidential Elections on Twitter.

  In elections around the world, the candidates may turn their campaigns toward negativity due to the prospect of failure and time pressure. We propose a hybrid model for detecting campaign negativity consisting of a two-stage classifier that combines the strengths of two machine learning models. Our best model (RF-RF) was able to achieve 79% for the macro F1 score and 82% for the weighted F1 score.

  The budget spent solely on political advertising in the U.S. has increased by more than 100% from $700 million during the 2017-2018 U.S. election cycle to $1.6 billion during the 2020 U.S. presidential elections. The capacity offered by online platforms to micro-target ads with political content has been worrying lawmakers, journalists, and online platforms. Online platforms and regulators have agreed that researchers, journalists, and civil society need to be able to scrutinize the political ads running on large online platforms.
