Bot detection in twitter landscape using unsupervised learning
The aim of this paper is to identify and understand bot activity in twitter discussion. The prevalence of Twitter bots have gained significant limelight recently due to their misuse in influencing public sentiment for political gains. For our analysis, we use Twitter data of 2019 Canadian Elections. We perform principal component analysis and K-means clustering on the data set. Using the results we isolate bots from human accounts.
