Measuring information credibility in social media using combination of user profile and message content dimensions

Information credibility in social media is becoming the most important part of information sharing in the society. The literatures have shown that there is no labeling information credibility based on user competencies and their posted topics. This study increases the information credibility by adding new 17 features for Twitter and 49 features for Facebook. In the first step, we perform a labeling process based on user competencies and their posted topic to classify the users into two groups, credible and not credible users, regarding their posted topics. These approaches are evaluated over ten thousand samples of real-field data obtained from Twitter and Facebook networks using classification of Naive Bayes (NB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression (Logit) and J48 algorithm (J48). With the proposed new features, the credibility of information provided in social media is increasing significantly indicated by better accuracy compared to the existing technique for all classifiers

Feature Expansion for Sentiment Analysis in Twitter

The community's need for social media is increasing, since the media can be used to express their opinion, especially the Twitter. Sentiment analysis can be used to understand public opinion a topic where the accuracy can be measured and improved by several methods. In this paper, we introduce a hybrid method that combines: (a) basic features and feature expansion based on Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) and (b) basic features and feature expansion based on tweet-based features. We train three most common classifiers for this field, i.e., Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression (Logit), and Naïve Bayes (NB). From those two feature expansions, we do notice a significant increase in feature expansion with tweet-based features rather than based on TF-IDF, where the highest accuracy of 98.81% is achieved in Logistic Regression Classifier

A Framework for Classifying Indonesian News Curator in Twitter

News curators in twitter are a user, which is interested in following, spreading, giving feedback of recent popular articles. There are two kinds of this user, news curator as human user and news aggregator as bot user. In prior works about news curator, the classification system built using followers, URL, mention and retweet feature. However, there are limited prior works for classifiying Indonesian News Curator in twitter and still hard for labelling data involve just two features: followers and URL. In this paper, we proposed a framework for classifying Indonesian news curator in twitter using Naïve Bayes Classifier (NBC) and added features such as location, bio profile, and common tweet. Another purpose for analysing the influential features of certain class, so its make easier for labelling data of this role in the future. Examination result using percentage split as evaluating system produced 87% accuracy. The most influential features for news curator are followers, bio profile, mention and retweet. For news aggregator class are followers, location, and URL. The rest just common tweet feature for not both class. We implemented Feature Subset Selection (FSS) for increasing system performance and avoiding the over fitting data, it has produced 92.90% accuracy
