MARPLE: A Framework for Social Media Threat Intelligence

Le résumé fourni par la source

In last years, the use of social media platforms by terrorist organizations have become more evident. Since the emergence of digital communication, extremist groups have had unheard-of possibilities to spread their beliefs, enlist new members, and plan pervasive radicalization campaigns. Terrorist organizations utilize social media to span their messages, taking advantage of its wide audience, anonymity, and instantaneous connectivity. For this reason, Social Media Intelligence (SOCMINT) is becoming an effective mean to support LEAs in monitoring of social media, blogs, and forums to identify any suspicious content and potential terrorist threat. The goal of this work is to propose an AI-based Threat Intelligence tool that applies Deep Learning techniques for OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) investigation, supporting intelligence analysts and investigators to timely identify terrorist threats from social networks. Results obtained on a newly created dataset confirm the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed tool in the identification of malicious posts related to terrorist activities.
