Social platforms such as Twitter are under siege from a multitude of fraudulent users. In response, social bot detection tasks have been developed to identify such fake users. Due to the structure of social networks, the majority of methods…

Socialbots are software-driven user accounts on social platforms, acting autonomously (mimicking human behavior), with the aims to influence the opinions of other users or spread targeted misinformation for particular goals. As socialbots…

The rise of bot accounts on social media poses significant risks to public discourse. To address this threat, modern bot detectors increasingly rely on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). However, the effectiveness of these GNN-based detectors in…

Social media is one of the main sources for news consumption, especially among the younger generation. With the increasing popularity of news consumption on various social media platforms, there has been a surge of misinformation which…

Social bots are referred to as the automated accounts on social networks that make attempts to behave like human. While Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) has been massively applied to the field of social bot detection, a huge amount of domain…

Social bot detection is pivotal for safeguarding the integrity of online information ecosystems. Although recent graph neural network (GNN) solutions achieve strong results, they remain hindered by two practical challenges: (i) severe class…

The presence of a large number of bots on social media leads to adverse effects. Although Random forest algorithm is widely used in bot detection and can significantly enhance the performance of weak classifiers, it cannot utilize the…

In multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), the integration of a communication mechanism, allowing agents to better learn to coordinate their actions and converge on their objectives by sharing information. Based on an interaction graph,…

Social media bot detection is increasingly crucial with the rise of social media platforms. Existing methods predominantly construct social networks as graph and utilize graph neural networks (GNNs) for bot detection. However, most of these…

Bot activity on social media platforms is a pervasive problem, undermining the credibility of online discourse and potentially leading to cybercrime. We propose an approach to bot detection using Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). We…

The presence of a large number of bots on social media has adverse effects. The graph neural network (GNN) can effectively leverage the social relationships between users and achieve excellent results in detecting bots. Recently, more and…

Botnet detectors based on machine learning are potential targets for adversarial evasion attacks. Several research works employ adversarial training with samples generated from generative adversarial nets (GANs) to make the botnet detectors…

As malicious actors employ increasingly advanced and widespread bots to disseminate misinformation and manipulate public opinion, the detection of Twitter bots has become a crucial task. Though graph-based Twitter bot detection methods…

Existing multi-agent coordination techniques are often fragile and vulnerable to anomalies such as agent attrition and communication disturbances, which are quite common in the real-world deployment of systems like field robotics. To better…

The detection of malicious social bots has become a crucial task, as bots can be easily deployed and manipulated to spread disinformation, promote conspiracy messages, and more. Most existing approaches utilize graph neural networks…

Malicious social bots achieve their malicious purposes by spreading misinformation and inciting social public opinion, seriously endangering social security, making their detection a critical concern. Recently, graph-based bot detection…

Driven by large language models (LLMs), social bot can autonomously engage in local interactions, whose human-like behaviors enable them to evade social bot detection. However, while these botnets exhibit realistic local social…

Mission planning for a fleet of cooperative autonomous drones in applications that involve serving distributed target points, such as disaster response, environmental monitoring, and surveillance, is challenging, especially under partial…

Detecting automated accounts (bots) among genuine users on platforms like Twitter remains a challenging task due to the evolving behaviors and adaptive strategies of such accounts. While recent methods have achieved strong detection…

Twitter bot detection is an important and challenging task. Existing bot detection measures fail to address the challenge of community and disguise, falling short of detecting bots that disguise as genuine users and attack collectively. To…
