This work considers a directed network of users constructed from comments in Reddit. The network characterization highlights the significant structural differences of bots, allowing them to be classified using only network features.\n\nThis work was guided by Professor [Daniel R. Figueiredo](http://www.land.ufrj.br/~daniel/) (PESC / COPPE / UFRJ).\n\n## Publications\n\n- [Full Paper on Brazilian Computing Society (pt-BR)](https://sol.sbc.org.br/index.php/wperformance/article/view/6471)  \nPresented at the XXXIX Congresso da Sociedade Brasileira de Computação\n\n- [Undergraduate Project (Poli / COPPE / UFRJ) (pt-BR)](http://monografias.poli.ufrj.br/monografias/monopoli10028221.pdf)  \nas a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Computer and Information Engineer\n\n## Using this repository\n\nThe code elaborated for this work is compatible with [Python 3.7.8](https://www.python.org/).\n\nTo install all dependencies and use Jupyter Notebook with a virtual environment:\n\n```bash\npython3 -m venv venv\nsource venv/bin/activate\npip3 install -r requirements.txt\npython3 -m ipykernel install --user --name=venv\njupyter notebook\n```\n\nIn the `notebooks` folder are the [Jupyter Notebook](https://jupyter.org/) files that can be used to evaluate other datasets.\n\nReddit Comments datasets can be found in [pushshift](https://files.pushshift.io/reddit/comments/), the files should be placed uncompressed in `data/raw/`.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdamascenorafael%2Fidentify-bots-reddit-comment-network","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdamascenorafael%2Fidentify-bots-reddit-comment-network","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdamascenorafael%2Fidentify-bots-reddit-comment-network/lists"}
