In this session, Dr. Aaron will explore examples of uncovering linguistic patterns of deception in text using text analytics and statistical analysis. He will demonstrate how to identify subtle patterns of censorship and deception in social media channels, personal interviews, blogs, and more, using Wordstat phrase and topic modeling functions in combination with machine learning tools. He will also show how to apply these same methods using an automated model to uncover censorship and deception in search engine queries and computer-generated text. Lastly, Dr. Aaron will address the use of topic modeling in combination with time series analysis to explore “pre-emptive framing”, an important concept from session #1.
