Disinformation, Fakes and Propaganda Identifying Methods in Online Messages Based on NLP and Machine Learning Methods

By Victoria Vysotska Krzysztof Przystupa Lyubomyr Chyrun Serhii Vladov Yuriy Ushenko Dmytro Uhryn Zhengbing Hu

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijcnis.2024.05.06, Pub. Date: 8 Oct. 2024

A new method of propaganda analysis is proposed to identify signs and change the dynamics of the behaviour of coordinated groups based on machine learning at the processing disinformation stages. In the course of the work, two models were implemented to recognise propaganda in textual data - at the message level and the phrase level. Within the framework of solving the problem of analysis and recognition of text data, in particular, fake news on the Internet, an important component of NLP technology (natural language processing) is the classification of words in text data. In this context, classification is the assignment or assignment of textual data to one or more predefined categories or classes. For this purpose, the task of binary text classification was solved. Both models are built based on logistic regression, and in the process of data preparation and feature extraction, such methods as vectorisation using TF-IDF vectorisation (Term Frequency – Inverse Document Frequency), the BOW model (Bag-of-Words), POS marking (Part-Of-Speech), word embedding using the Word2Vec two-layer neural network, as well as manual feature extraction methods aimed at identifying specific methods of political propaganda in texts are used. The analogues of the project under development are analysed the subject area (the propaganda used in the media and the basis of its production methods) is studied. The software implementation is carried out in Python, using the seaborn, matplotlib, genism, spacy, NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit), NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn libraries. The model's score for propaganda recognition at the phrase level was obtained: 0.74, and at the message level: 0.99. The implementation of the results will significantly reduce the time required to make the most appropriate decision on the implementation of counter-disinformation measures concerning the identified coordinated groups of disinformation generation, fake news and propaganda. Different classification algorithms for detecting fake news and non-fakes or fakes identification accuracy from Internet resources ana social mass media are used as the decision tree (for non-fakes identification accuracy 0.98 and fakes identification accuracy 0.9903), the k-nearest neighbours (0.83/0.999), the random forest (0.991/0.933), the multilayer perceptron (0.9979/0.9945), the logistic regression (0.9965/0.9988), and the Bayes classifier (0.998/0.913). The logistic regression (0.9965) the multilayer perceptron (0.9979) and the Bayesian classifier (0.998) are more optimal for non-fakes news identification. The logistic regression (0.9988), the multilayer perceptron (0.9945), and k-nearest neighbours (0.999) are more optimal for identifying fake news identification.

Information Technology for the Data Integration in Intelligent Systems of Business Analytics

By Victoria Vysotska Andrii Berko Yevhen Burov Dmytro Uhryn Zhengbing Hu Valentyna Dvorzhak

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijieeb.2024.04.05, Pub. Date: 8 Aug. 2024

The purpose of the research is to develop mathematical models, solution methods and layouts of tools for problems solving of integrating information resources and creation of intelligent systems of business analytics based on effective models. These problems can be solved by automating the business processes execution and introducing artificial intelligence components into the business processes management systems. It can be said that the essence of the modern stage of the business processes modelling systems development is the transition from mainly manual (or with the use of auxiliary software) methods of business processes analysis to mainly automatic management of the business processes execution, construction of intelligent business processes networks in the interconnected conceptual models’ set form that encapsulate knowledge about the structure, the business processes features, system events, limitations and dependencies and are processed by machine. Decision-making powers are delegated to such information system in clearly defined (most often simple, routine) situations. So, in this way, it is possible to form the information resource of intelligent systems of business analytics as a single coherent set of data, suitable for use in solving a wide range of multifaceted problems. The integration approach of forming information resources has certain advantages over other approaches, in particular, regarding the information resources of intelligent systems of business analytics. The use of integration as a means of forming a set of consistent data has certain advantages, namely, it allows: combine data of different formats, content and origins in a single, consistent set; combine data without converting them to a single format, which is especially important when such conversion is difficult or impossible; creates virtual custom images of data that do not depend on their real appearance; creates opportunities to operate both real physical and virtual data in their combination; dynamically supplement, change and transform both the data itself and their descriptions; to provide uniform methods and technologies of perception and application of a large amount of various data.

Modeling and Development of a Computer Simulator with the Formation of Working Scenarios for Training Operator Personnel in the Search for Objects

By Taras Basyuk Andrii Vasyliuk Yuriy Ushenko Dmytro Uhryn Zhengbing Hu Mariia Talakh

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijmecs.2024.04.07, Pub. Date: 8 Aug. 2024

The article is dedicated to solving the problem of modeling and developing a computer simulator with the creation of working scenarios for training operating personnel in object detection. The analysis of the features of human operator activity is carried out, the model of his behavior is described, and it is shown that for the presented task, the following three levels must be taken into account: behavior based on abilities (skills), behavior based on rules, behavior based on knowledge. User models that are used in man-machine systems were created, and their use in the process of modeling operator activity from the point of view of regular and irregular exposure was shown. This made it possible to create a prototype of a graphical window using a user-friendly interface. A system model of human-machine interface for processing and recognition of visual information is mathematically described and a model of image representation based on three possible scenarios of their formation is formed. The result of the study was the software implementation of an effective educational tool prototype that accurately replicates real-world conditions for the formation of working scenarios. The conducted experimental research showed the possibility of general image recognition tests, selection of different test modes, and support for arbitrary sets of image test tasks. Further research will be aimed at expanding the  
functionality of the created prototype, developing additional modules, automatically generating scenarios and verifying work.

Method for Constructing Neural Network Means for Recognizing Scenes of Political Extremism in Graphic Materials of Online Social Networks

By Ihor Tereikovskyi Rabah AlShboul Shynar Mussiraliyeva Liudmyla Tereikovska Kalamkas Bagitova Oleh Tereikovskyi Zhengbing Hu

Countering the spread of calls for political extremism through graphic content on online social networks is becoming an increasingly pressing problem that requires the development of new technological solutions, since traditional approaches to countering are based on the results of recognizing destructive content only in text messages. Since in modern conditions neural network tools for analyzing graphic information are considered the most effective, it is assumed that it is advisable to use such tools for analyzing images and video materials in online social networks, taking into account the need to adapt them to the expected conditions of use, which are determined by the wide variability in the size of graphic content, the presence of typical interference, limited computing resources of recognition tools. Using this thesis, a method has been proposed that makes it possible to implement the construction of neural network recognition tools adapted to the specified conditions. For recognition, the author's neural network model was used, which, due to the reasonable determination of the architectural parameters of the low-resource convolutional neural network of the MobileNetV2 type and the recurrent neural network of the LSTM type, which makes up its structure, ensures high accuracy of recognition of scenes of political extremism both in static images and in video materials under limited computing conditions resources. A mechanism was used to adapt the input field of the neural network model to the variability of the size of graphic resources, which provides for scaling within acceptable limits of the input graphic resource and, if necessary, filling the input field with zeros. Levelling out typical noise is ensured by using advanced solutions in the method for correcting brightness, contrast and eliminating blur of local areas in images of online social networks. Neural network tools developed on the basis of the proposed method for recognizing scenes of political extremism in graphic materials of online social networks demonstrate recognition accuracy at the level of the most well-known neural network models, while ensuring a reduction in resource intensity by more than 10 times. This allows the use of less powerful equipment, increases the speed of content analysis, and also opens up prospects for the development of easily scalable recognition tools, which ultimately ensures an increase in security and a reduction in the spread of extremist content on online social networks. It is advisable to correlate the paths for further research with the introduction of the Attention mechanism into the neural network model used in the method, which will make it possible to increase the efficiency of neural network analysis of video materials.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.5815/ijitcs.2024.02.02, Pub. Date: 8 Apr. 2024

Sentiment analysis is a critical component in natural language processing applications, particularly for text classification. By employing state-of-the-art techniques such as ensemble methods, transfer learning and deep learning architectures, our methodology significantly enhances the robustness and precision of sentiment predictions. We systematically investigate the impact of various NLP models, including recurrent neural networks and transformer-based architectures, on sentiment classification tasks. Furthermore, we introduce a novel ensemble method that combines the strengths of multiple classifiers to improve the predictive ability of the system. The results demonstrate the potential of integrating state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing (NLP) models with ensemble classifiers to advance sentiment analysis. This lays the foundation for a more advanced comprehension of textual sentiments in diverse applications.
