What does the Automatic Detection of Trolls in Social Networks project offer?

According to the data published by Ly on the subject, 86 percent of internet users are deceived with fake news, while 62 percent of internet platforms, online news and websites are described as fake by users.
At this point, TED University (TEDU) Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department Lecturer Dr. The project named “Modelling of Intellectual Dynamics in Social Media as a Differential Game and Automatic Detection of Trolls on the Network”, led by Aykut Yıldız, was entitled to be supported for 36 months within the scope of TÜBİTAK 1001 program.
Professor at the head of the project, Dr. Aykut Yıldız stated that the mathematical analysis they will use is a unique approach.
