Research on Intelligent Detection of Social Media Robot Accounts

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1671-1122.2019.09.020

Abstract

Abstract:

This paper summarizes human and robot account data into four categories of attributes: information attributes, credit attributes, social relationship attributes and posting attributes, which better reflects the essential differences between the two types of accounts. Based on the four categories of attributes, the social account data is preprocessed and seven kinds of detection features for social accounts are extracted. Combining with a variety of binary machine learning algorithms, intelligent detection model of robot accounts is established by using seven social account detection features.

Key words: robot accounts, account attributes, account detection features, intelligent detection, sina microblog
