Coordination Detection based on text similarity (cotweets) #18

Open mrwunderbar666 opened 1 year ago

Implement "cotweets" (Keller et al 2020)

different accounts managed by a single person (or a team) can tweet the same message seemingly independently – a pattern we will call co-tweeting. This type of coordination is probably most telling of an astroturfing campaign, because regular users are very unlikely to post the same message at the same time.

Include simple version where tweet text is exactly the same
Add feature for grouping tweets by text similarity.

there are some problems / improvements necessary:

add the skip_short parameter when calling TextReuseCorpus, otherwise it will ignore most tweets
forward keyword arguments to textreuse functions
ensure parallel processing is enabled and working
