Twitter-based political Ideology Similarity detection across countries
○陳 景慧(総研大),水野貴之(NII),土井翔平(北大)
Researches detecting Ideologies for Twitter users via Link analysis such as retweet network and follower network shows great results in recent years. However, difficulties encountered when taking into account the link relations among countries with different language systems, with the fact that people hardly retweet or follow other people when there is a language barrier.
In our research, we create US political dimension based on political activists’ user vector embeddings, and project political user vectors from other countries to clarify transnational ideologies, making it possible to analyse cross-border relationships. We also include tweets of diverse topics to check if they share similar ideologies across countries.
