PPP 2024-205 - The role of Large Language Models in the Detection/Mitigation of Disinformation

Joint Research Project: Real-time detection and analysis of hybrid disinformation campaigns in online media (HybriD)

Detection & Analysis of Social Bots in 2021

Visualization and Analysis of Textual Stream Clustering Data for the Detection of Manipulative Campaigns in Social Media

The goal of the research project is to develop a dashboard that displays data from social media. Its purpose is to visually detect anomalies in order to observe and research the emergence or behavior of artificially generated campaigns. The long-term goal should be to detect politically motivated attempts to influence discussion on Social Media and to understand their spread. Examples of events whose course could be observed by using the dashboard are, for example, elections or the discussion of the new Coronavirus. In both examples, the targeted influencing of opinions is harmful to the society as a whole.
