- Abstract: Current network-based methods for detecting coordinated inauthentic behaviour
on social media focus primarily on inferring links between accounts based on
common "behavioural traces" [19], such as retweeting the same tweet or posting
the same URL. Assuming the goal of coordination is amplification, boosting a
message within a constrained period, most approaches use a temporal window to
ensure the co-activity occurs within a specific timeframe [9, 14, 19, 24].
Real-world application requires considering near real-time processing, creating
performance requirements, which also highlight gaps in the semantics of
coordination in the literature. These methods could all exploit temporal
elements of coordinated activity. We describe preliminary research regarding
coordination network semantics, coordination network construction, relevant
observations in three political Twitter datasets and the role of cheerleaders
in revealing social bots.

It is necessary to simultaneously learn (i) temporal dependencies and (ii) co-occurrence action relationships.
Recent approaches model temporal information by extracting multi-scale features through hierarchical transformer-based networks.
We argue that combining this with multiple sub-sampling processes in hierarchical designs can lead to further loss of positional information.
