Special Issue Information
The spread of low-quality information by means of social media can
influence public perception regarding important topics such as politics,
health, or climate change. Sometimes these disinformation activities are
carried out by groups of coordinated accounts that pollute social debate
with a massive number of targeted messages. All these issues contribute
to transforming social media into a fertile ground for manipulation
attempts. The huge amount of data produced by interactions of people
requires the use of sophisticated processing and analysis techniques in
order to produce information for intelligence purposes. Recent studies
have highlighted the importance of exploring, studying, and modeling
large amounts of data in order to discover patterns or relationships and
translate them into valuable information.
In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit original research
articles related to recent advances at all levels of the applications
and technologies of big data and cyber intelligence. We are particularly
interested in presenting emerging technologies related to machine
learning and deep learning that may have a significant impact on this
research field.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
-Machine learning-based detection techniques to contrast malicious
activities;
-Network analysis techniques for the characterization and detection of
anomalous behaviors;
-The detection of coordinated inauthentic behaviors;
-Techniques for identifying information polarization on social media;
-Investigating the dynamics of the diffusion of disinformation;
-Text mining and graph mining for open-source intelligence;
-Social network analysis of large networks;
-Detection of DeepFake texts, images, and videos;
-Fake news and hoax detection
-The detection and characterization of information operations.
Manuscript Submission Information

invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100
words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this
website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be
under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference
proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a
