Analyzing User and Group Behavior during Elections: Coordination, Bots and Misinformation

Onur Varol
Sabanci University

Abstract:
The unprecedented growth in social media use and large-scale information collection pose new threats, but also offer new opportunities. Modeling and managing complex interactive systems requires the analysis of social and technological signals to gain new insights into human society and individual behavior. Online social networks play an essential role in our access to information and are a good proxy for studying population-level behavior patterns and individual-level predictions. In this talk, I will present my research analyzing various account behaviors, from social bots spreading misinformation to coordinated activities during political campaigns and elections. I will also present the dataset we collected and the system we developed for the #Secim2023 project, which we used to study the recent Turkish presidential elections. I will also briefly discuss the other projects we are doing in the VRL lab.
