The task is divided into two sub-problems, bot, and gender detection,\r\nfor two different languages: English and Spanish. For each instance of the problem and each language, we address the problem differently. We use an ensemble\r\narchitecture to solve the Bot Detection for accounts that write in English and a\r\nsingle SVM for those who write in Spanish. For the Gender detection we use a\r\nsingle SVM architecture for both the languages, but we pre-process the tweets in\r\na different way. Our final models achieve accuracy over the 90% in the bot detection task, while for the gender detection, of 84.17% and 77.61% respectively for\r\nthe English and Spanish languages.","url_abs":"http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2380/paper_210.pdf","url_pdf":"http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2380/paper_210.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"bot-and-gender-detection-of-twitter-accounts","repo_url":"https://github.com/andreabac3/Bot-Gender-Profiling-Pan2019","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"author-profiling","task_name":"Author Profiling"},{"task_slug":"gender-prediction","task_name":"Gender Prediction"},{"task_slug":"twitter-bot-detection","task_name":"Twitter Bot Detection"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"svm","method_name":"SVM"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
