Conspiracy or Not? A Deep Learning Approach to Spot It on Twitter

Sentiment analysis is an active topic in Natural Language Processing (NLP). It has attracted a significant interest of research community due to the wide range of applications, including social-media, fake news spotting and interactive applications. In this paper, we present a novel approach for semi-automatic background creation and conspiracy classification. For this purpose, a complete framework including novel recurrent models is proposed. The
BORJIS
: Best algorithm foR Joint conspiracy and sarcasm detection has been tested on twitter-crawled data and It is composed by:
$(a)$
the crawler and labelling module,
$(b)$
the features vector extraction and
$(c)$
the conspiracy classifier.
BORJIS
was compared with up-to-date techniques and it showed a significant improvement (≥ 10% accuracy) when applied to diverse datasets.
