an attempt to detect automated tweets like "facebook photo sharings" within a users list of tweets. still very early dev phase. also, this is my first github contribution ;)

evaluating tweets mainly on basis of the frequency of words plus position. so if a word appears many times at the same position, but rarely on different positions, then that is an indication for an automated tweet.

use after import:

  • "classify(listoftweets)"
  • based on variable "lscore" a threshold is applied and can be adjusted
