Bot Sentinel Description
Bot Sentinel is designed to be as simple to use as possible, and as informative as we can. We display detailed information publicly about Twitter accounts that the platform is tracking in order to give visitors a better understanding on how nefarious Twitter accounts spread misinformation and target other Twitter accounts. We strive to be as transparent and provide as many data points for visitors as possible. Bot Sentinel, a non-partisan platform, tracks all accounts. The platform uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to classify Twitter profiles and add them to a public database that anyone can access. Our machine-learning model was trained to classify Twitter profiles using thousands of Twitter accounts and millions tweets. The system is able to classify accounts correctly with 95% accuracy. We are not using other machine learning tools that detect "bots" but instead focusing on specific behavior and activities deemed inappropriate for Twitter.
