By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new framework to detect synthetic political narratives disseminated across social media platforms. This framework utilizes four key coordination signals: lexical diversity, temporal burstiness, rhetorical repetition, and semantic homogenization. By combining these metrics into a Synthetic Narrative Coordination Score (SNC), the system can identify coordinated campaigns, as demonstrated by its application to data from Telegram and Reddit concerning geopolitical events.
