The way politicians use Twitter is influenced by concerns of impression management (content and style of tweets), and also various institutional, political and social/symbolic limits, which contribute to revea…

2015
Mūsdienās cilvēki spēj saņemt informāciju daudzos iespējamos veidos, piemēram: televīzija, internets, radio, avīzes, sabidrība. Problēma sākas tad, kad cilvēks nevar pateikt droši, vai sniegtā informācija varētu būt uzticama, vai tajā varētu būt daži vaina ar to; vai, citiem vārdiem sakot, ja personai nav kritiskās domāšanas prasmes, vai arī tās ir ļoti zemā līmenī. Diplomdarba autore ir izskatījusi "Twitter" kā līdzekli kritiskās domāšanas prasmes attīstībai angļu valodas stundās 11. Klasē.

The EU Election on Twitter
2015
In this chapter the political implications of social media and their affordances for political discourse are examined. The focus is on candidates’ Twitter usage during the 2014 EU elections in France and in Germany. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of tweets collected during a period of four weeks have been carried out on the basis of the functional operator model of Twitter. The model serves as a framework for assessing users’ tweeting styles, which can range between personal-interactive and topical-informative. The comparison of French and German top candidates’ tweeting styles, which mainly appear to be „personal-interactive“, however questions the candidates’ alleged efforts to ent…

Influence Assessment in Twitter Multi-relational Network
2015
International audience; Influence in Twitter has become recently a hot research topic since this micro-blogging service is widely used to share and disseminate information. Some users are more able than others to influence and persuade peers. Thus, studying most influential users leads to reach a large-scale information diffusion area, something very useful in marketing or political campaigns.

Improving Irony and Stereotype Spreaders Detection using Data Augmentation and Convolutional Neural Network
2022
In this paper we describe a deep learning model based on a Data Augmentation (DA) layer followed by a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The proposed model was developed by our team for the Profiling Irony and Stereotype Spreaders (ISSs) task proposed by the PAN 2022 organizers. As a first step, to classify an author as ISS or not (nISS), we developed a DA layer that expands each sample in the dataset provided. Using this augmented dataset we trained the CNN. Then, to submit our predictions, we apply our DA layer on the samples within the unlabeled test set too. Finally we fed our trained CNN with the augmented test set to generate our final predictions. To develop and test our model we us…

2017
In recent years, the increasing number of cyber-attacks has gained the development of innovative tools to quickly detect new threats. A recent approach to this problem is to analyze the content of Social Networks to discover the rising of new malicious software. Twitter is a popular social network which allows millions of users to share their opinions on what happens all over the world. The subscribers can insert messages, called tweet, that are usually related to international news.
