Detecting Information Operations Campaigns in Social Media with Machine Learning - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447085 titled 'Detecting Information Operations Campaigns in Social Media with Machine Learning

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for detecting information operations campaigns on social media using neural network language models.

  • The method involves retrieving a pre-trained language model and modifying it using transfer learning.
  • Social media post data is received and features are extracted from the data.
  • The features are tokenized and used to generate prediction scores using the trained language model.
  • If the prediction score exceeds a threshold, a threat warning is generated for the social media post or associated account.


Original Abstract Submitted

A processor-implemented method for detecting an information operations campaign includes retrieving a first neural network language model including a natural language model trained on a first dataset. The first neural network language model is modified, via transfer learning and based on a second dataset, to produce a second neural network language model. Social media post data associated with a social media post is received, and features are extracted from the social media post data. The features are tokenized to produce at least one token including a value. A prediction score for the at least one token is generated using the trained neural network language model. If the prediction score exceeds a threshold value, a threat warning including a representation associated with at least one of the social media post or an account associated with the social media post is generated.
