Hey, thanks so much! The Wired take definitely left me cynical; it's all too easy to write a human-interest piece about ML approaches that don't actually work. But this is a much more concrete explanation of results, and I'm intrigued. If you don't mind, could you offer any more clarification on your test/training set? I see the Medium piece talks about wanting to avoid selection bias from hand-classification, but the Wired summary just described hand-selecting 100 "ground truth" bots and then adding their followers. How did you know the followers were also bots? And how did you try to ensure the bots you selected were a reasonable sample? |
