    Amber Heard - Twitter BotScores Machine Learning Analysis Report

    Uploaded by

    Hollywood Taft
    1. A machine learning model analyzed over 115,000 Twitter accounts from 2020 and classified around 33,800 as bots and 71,800 as humans. 2. When the model analyzed around 48,000 Twitter accounts from 2021, it classified around 3,200 as bots and 24,200 as humans. 3. There was some overlap between the accounts classified as bots by the machine learning model and those classified as bots by Botometer, with around 850 accounts being identified as bots by both methods.

    The report discusses using a machine learning model and Botometer to analyze social media accounts related to Amber Heard. It finds potential bot accounts, newly created accounts, and deleted accounts involved in trends related to her.

    A machine learning model from GitHub with 85% accuracy was used. It considered features like account verification, time created, location enabled, default profiles, followers count, friends count, statuses count, and others. Additional data was gathered using tweepy.

    Training data came from the Botometer 'cresci-stock-2018' dataset as well as tweets from 2020 and 2021. The data was processed and wrangled before being fed to the machine learning model.

    ANALYSIS REPORT
    “AMBER HEARD”
    Machine Learning Approach Over 2020-2021

    JUNE 30, 2021

    First Data Processing and Machine training

    Machine Learning model


    • The Machine learning model used was made by another Data scientist at github with
    accuracy of about 85%

    • The training data used by the owner of model was from Kaggle twitter-bot-dataset
    unfortunately the dataset was unavailable now so I downloaded new dataset from
    Botometer website

    Features used by model :


    1. Verified -> account verification 0/1 value
    2. hour_created -> hour the tweet was made datetime value
    3. geo_enabled -> if geo location was enabled 0/1 value
    4. default_profile -> When true, indicates that the user has not altered the theme or
    background of their user profile 0/1 value
    5. Default_profile_image ->When true, indicates that the user has not uploaded their own
    profile image and a default image is used instead 0/1 value
    6. Favourites_count -> number of tweets user liked throughout lifetime int value
    7. Followers_count -> number of followers int value
    8. Friends count -> number of following accounts int value
    9. Statuses count-> number of tweets/retweets made by accounts int value
    10. Average tweet per day -> statuses count/day_age of account float value
    11. Network
    12. Tweet to followers
    13. follower acq rate
    14. Friends acq rate
    Data collection and Wrangling
    Training Data :-
    the data I got in order to train Machine Learning model (ML) was from
    Botometer dataset “cresci-stock-2018” It was a Json file and a txt file
    of id and if it’s bot or not I did some wrangling like changing name of
    some columns forming new columns from other original columns
    eg (one column called “account_age_days” was by taking the difference
    created_at and created_at_1 t(time of recent tweet))
    Note that the data is 0 – 1 type I.e. it’s either a bot or not bot without giving the probability of
    being bot in percentage e.g. x is 50% probably bot

    Data processing
    Tweets_2020 data was more than 600k rows so it needed hard wrangling
    First I set rows by created_at_1(i.e. most recent tweets) to got last tweet so when taking the
    difference with created_at (account creation date I got the age at time of dataset collection)
    Then I used user.screen_name to remove duplicates users
    I did some calculation as shown in notebook to got the missed feature
    4 features used by machine was unavailable even with calculation so I used tweepy to got these
    features (favourites count,default profile,default profile image,geo enabled)
    Not that the feauter gathered with tweepy are the most recent (i.e. now in June 2021) the rest
    were in 2020
    Results

    8. Bots which are found also in Botomoter datasets= 853
    9. Bots which are also in botomoter and above 43% = 149
    10. Bots which are also in botomoter and above 50% = 94

    2. I merged all trend in one dataframe with also bots dataframe
    3. All trend are about 182169 tweet
    4. About 15769 tweets created from bot (detected by ML model)
    5. About 6270 tweets were created from account with less than 10 days age (account
