Spot a Bot

On social media platforms, we are confronted with big amount of content that bots are generating. We want to raise awareness on that with our project It is sometimes difficult to recognise bots on social media. Post from a human and post from a bot can’t always be distinguished in a timeline. This might have negative consequences, because people can be manipulated with distorted information We want to deeply understand the impact of bots in social media. Therefore, in this project we developed an algorithm that categorizes Twitter profiles and tweets as bot- or human-generated. We publish the results as interactive visualisation on our website. Our data is credible, comprehensible and transparent. To explain the process, we use Explainable AI approach.
