Dataset of the Intagram Fake and Automated Account Detection paper
https://conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html
We create a new vitrual environment named instafake.
conda create --name instafake python=3.6
If you are inside the virtual environment, your shell prompt should look like: (instafake) user@computer:~$
If that is not the case, you can enable the virtual environment using:
conda activate instafake
To deactivate the virtual environment, use:
conda deactivate
To install the required packages, run the following command in your instafake virtual environment:
pip install -r requirements.txt
To import the fake and automated datasets as pandas dataframes, simply define the dataset folder path data, and dataset version dataset_version and call import_data from utils:
from utils import import_data
dataset_path = "data"
dataset_version = "fake-v1.0"
fake_dataset = import_data(dataset_path, dataset_version)
dataset_path = "data"
dataset_version = "automated-v1.0"
automated_dataset = import_data(dataset_path, dataset_version)The dataset contains of 2 set of json files with given features:
