BotPercent: Estimating Twitter Bot Populations from Groups to Crowds
Zhaoxuan Tan=, Shangbin Feng=, Melanie Sclar, Herun Wan, Minnan Luo, Yejin Choi, Yulia Tsvetkov
arxiv 2023   paper   code  
We make the case for community-level bot detection, proposing the system BotPercent to estimate the bot populations from groups to crowds. Armed with BotPercent, we investigate the overall bot percentage among active users, bot precense in the Trump reinstatement vote, and more, yielding numerous interesting findings with implications for social media moderation.
KRACL: Contrastive Learning with Graph Context Modeling for Sparse Knowledge Graph Completion
Zhaoxuan Tan, Zilong Chen, Shangbin Feng, Qingyue Zhang, Qinghua Zheng, Jundong Li, Minnan Luo
The Web Conference 2023   paper   code  
We propose to leverage contrastive learning in knowledge graph completion to alleviate the sparsity challenge in existing KGs.

KALM: Knowledge-Aware Integration of Local, Document, and Global Contexts for Long Document Understanding
Shangbin Feng, Zhaoxuan Tan, Wenqian Zhang, Zhenyu Lei, Yulia Tsvetkov
arxiv 2022   paper  
We propose KALM, a Knowledge-Aware Language Model that jointly incorporates external knowledge in three levels of document contexts: local, document-level and global.
PAR: Political Actor Representation Learning with Social Context and Expert Knowledge
Shangbin Feng, Zhaoxuan Tan, Zilong Chen, Ningnan Wang, Peisheng Yu, Qinghua Zheng, Minnan Luo
EMNLP 2022   paper   code   poster  
We propose to learn representations of polical actors with social context and expert knowlegde, while applying learned representations to tasks in computational political science.

Shangbin Feng=, Zhaoxuan Tan=, Herun Wan=, Ningnan Wang=, Zilong Chen=, Binchi Zhang=, Qinghua Zheng, Wenqian Zhang, Zhenyu Lei, Shujie Yang, Xinshun Feng, Qingyue Zhang, Hongrui Wang, Yuhan Liu, Yuyang Bai, Heng Wang, Zijian Cai, Yanbo Wang, Lijing Zheng, Zihan Ma, Jundong Li, Minnan Luo (* indicates equal contribution)
NeurIPS 2022, Datasets and Benchmarks Track   website   paper   code   poster  
We make the case for graph-based Twitter bot detection and propose a graph-based benchmark TwiBot-22, which addresses the issues of limited dataset scale, incomplete graph structure, and low annotation quality in previous datasets.

Xinshun Feng, Herun Wan, Shangbin Feng, Hongrui Wang, Qinghua Zheng, Jun Zhou, Minnan Luo
CIKM 2022   paper   code  
We present GraTo, an NAS-GNN framework to tackle over-smoothing in graph mining.
Datavoidant: An AI System for Addressing Political Data Voids on Social Media
Claudia Flores-Saviaga, Shangbin Feng, Saiph Savage
CSCW 2022   paper   code  
We present Datavoidant, an AI-powered system to combat political data voids within underrepresented communities.
KCD: Knowledge Walks and Textual Cues Enhanced Political Perspective Detection in News Media
Wenqian Zhang=, Shangbin Feng=, Zilong Chen=, Zhenyu Lei, Jundong Li, Minnan Luo (* indicates equal contribution)
NAACL 2022, oral presentation   paper   code   invited talk slides  
We introduce the mechanism of knowledge walks to enable multi-hop reasoning on knowledge graphs and levearge textual labels in graphs for political perspective detection.
Heterogeneity-aware Twitter Bot Detection with Relational Graph Transformers
Shangbin Feng, Zhaoxuan Tan, Rui Li, Minnan Luo
