预测COVID-19期间Twitter上的反亚裔仇恨用户
Predicting Anti-Asian Hateful Users on Twitter during COVID-19
摘要：
我们调查了整个COVID-19期间Twitter用户中反亚洲仇恨的预测因素。随着仇外心理和两极分化的兴起，许多国家广泛使用社交媒体，网络仇恨已成为一个主要的社会问题，吸引了许多研究人员。在这里，我们应用自然语言处理技术来描述在COVID-19期间开始发布反亚洲仇恨信息的社交媒体用户的特征。我们比较了两个用户组-那些发布反亚洲诽谤和那些没有-关于一组丰富的特征，这些特征是用COVID-19之前的数据测量的，并表明有可能预测谁后来公开发布反亚洲诽谤。我们对预测特征的分析强调了报道网络仇恨的新闻媒体和信息源的潜在影响，并呼吁进一步调查两极分化的通信网络和新闻媒体的作用。
英文摘要：
We investigate predictors of anti-Asian hate among Twitter users throughout COVID-19. With the rise of xenophobia and polarization that has accompanied widespread social media usage in many nations, online hate has become a major social issue, attracting many researchers. Here, we apply natural language processing techniques to characterize social media users who began to post anti-Asian hate messages during COVID-19. We compare two user groups -- those who posted anti-Asian slurs and those who did not -- with respect to a rich set of features measured with data prior to COVID-19 and show that it is possible to predict who later publicly posted anti-Asian slurs. Our analysis of predictive features underlines the potential impact of news media and information sources that report on online hate and calls for further investigation into the role of polarized communication networks and news media.
