Abstract: Social Media usage has increased to an all-time high level in today's digital world. The majority of the population uses social media tools (like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc.) to share their thoughts and experiences with the community. Analysing the sentiments and opinions of the common public is very important for both the government and the business people. This is the reason behind the activeness of many media agencies during the election time for performing various kinds of opinion polls. In this paper, we have worked towards analysing the sentiments of the people of India during the Lok Sabha election of 2019 using the Twitter data of that duration. We have built an automatic tweet analyser using the Transfer Learning technique to handle the unsupervised nature of this problem. We have used the Linear Support Vector Classifiers method in our Machine Learning model, also, the Term Frequency Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) methodology for handling the textual data of tweets. Further, we have increased the capability of the model to address the sarcastic tweets posted by some of the users, which has not been yet considered by the researchers in this domain.

Trust and Believe -- Should We? Evaluating the Trustworthiness of Twitter Users [5.695742189917657]
Fake news on social media is a major problem with far-reaching negative repercussions on both individuals and society. In this work, we create a model through which we hope to offer a solution that will instill trust in social network communities. Our model analyses the behaviour of 50,000 politicians on Twitter and assigns an influence score for each evaluated user.

Manipulating Twitter Through Deletions [64.33261764633504]
Research into influence campaigns on Twitter has mostly relied on identifying malicious activities from tweets obtained via public APIs. Here, we provide the first exhaustive, large-scale analysis of anomalous deletion patterns involving more than a billion deletions by over 11 million accounts. We find that a small fraction of accounts delete a large number of tweets daily. First, limits on tweet volume are circumvented, allowing certain accounts to flood the network with over 26 thousand daily tweets. Second, coordinated networks of accounts engage in repetitive likes and unlikes of content that is eventually deleted, which can manipulate ranking algorithms.

Identification of Twitter Bots based on an Explainable ML Framework: the US 2020 Elections Case Study [72.61531092316092]
This paper focuses on the design of a novel system for identifying Twitter bots based on labeled Twitter data. Supervised machine learning (ML) framework is adopted using an Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm. Our study also deploys Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) for explaining the ML model predictions.

Currently, there is no automated way of determining which news or users are credible and which are not. In this work, we created a model which analysed the behaviour of50,000 politicians on Twitter. We classified the political Twitter users as either trusted or untrusted using random forest, multilayer perceptron, and support vector machine.

News consumption and social media regulations policy [70.31753171707005]
We analyze two social media that enforced opposite moderation methods, Twitter and Gab, to assess the interplay between news consumption and content regulation. Our results show that the presence of moderation pursued by Twitter produces a significant reduction of questionable content. The lack of clear regulation on Gab results in the tendency of the user to engage with both types of content, showing a slight preference for the questionable ones which may account for a dissing/endorsement behavior.

This research aims to analyse a sentiment of the users towards a particular trending topic that has been actively and massively discussed at that time. We use the hashtag textit#kpujangancurang that was the trending topic during the Indonesia presidential election in 2019. This research utilizes rapid miner tool to generate the twitter data and comparing Naive Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbor, Decision Tree, and Multi-Layer Perceptron classification methods to classify the sentiment of the twitter data.

Inferring Political Preferences from Twitter [0.0]
Political Sentiment Analysis of social media helps the political strategists to scrutinize the performance of a party or candidate. During the time of elections, the social networks get flooded with blogs, chats, debates and discussions about the prospects of political parties and politicians. In this work, we chose to identify the inclination of political opinions present in Tweets by modelling it as a text classification problem using classical machine learning.

Sentiment Analysis on Social Media Content [0.0]
The aim of this paper is to present a model that can perform sentiment analysis of real data collected from Twitter. Data in Twitter is highly unstructured which makes it difficult to analyze. Our proposed model is different from prior work in this field because it combined the use of supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms.

Echo Chambers on Social Media: A comparative analysis [64.2256216637683]
We introduce an operational definition of echo chambers and perform a massive comparative analysis on 1B pieces of contents produced by 1M users on four social media platforms. We infer the leaning of users about controversial topics and reconstruct their interaction networks by analyzing different features. We find support for the hypothesis that platforms implementing news feed algorithms like Facebook may elicit the emergence of echo-chambers.
