Slides for Muslims in ML workshop presentation at NeurlPS 2020 on December 8, 2020 - this is a shorter 25 minute version of the UMass Lowell talk of November 2020 (so the slides are a subset of that).
This document discusses the threat of homegrown terrorism in the United States. It notes that since 9/11, there have been 63 homegrown violent jihadist plots or attacks. While the numbers seem small, even one successful attack could seriously harm Americans. It examines three terrorist groups - Al Qaeda, Al Shabaab, and ISIS - that have had some success recruiting American citizens to their cause. This threatens national security by giving groups access to intelligence and allowing them to potentially operate undetected within the country. The document aims to analyze the significance and severity of the homegrown terrorism threat.

Chapter 9 Political crime & terrorism criminology presentationAsadAli775
This document discusses the nature and types of political crimes. It defines political crimes as illegal acts aimed at undermining the government. Political crimes can be violent or nonviolent and include acts like terrorism, espionage, and treason. Most political criminals see themselves as patriotic rather than antisocial. Their motivations may stem from ideology or a desire for personal profit or revenge. Common goals of political crimes are intimidation, revolution, and profit. The document also discusses types of political crimes like election fraud and distinguishes between terrorists, guerillas, and insurgents. It concludes by covering law enforcement responses to terrorism.
The document summarizes the history and operations of the Bloods gang. It details how the Piru Street Boys broke off from the Crips gang in the 1970s in Compton, California and formed the first Bloods set. In the 1990s, the Bloods expanded from the west coast to the east coast through the United Blood Nation prison gang. The Bloods grew significantly and now have over 200 sets across the US engaging in frequent violence. Membership is typically young African American males seeking belonging and economic opportunity through gang activities. Bloods identify with the color red and symbols like the number 5 and star, and use unique slang, hand signs, and graffiti to communicate and mark territory.
Barack Obama became the first black president of the United States in 2008.

Man Haron Monis' violent siege in Sydney raises questions about how a person with his criminal history was released on bail and able to carry out the attack. While his actions were driven by delusion and narcissism, they still meet the definition of terrorism. The Islamic State has actively encouraged "lone wolf" attacks in Western countries by troubled, alienated individuals. They view damaged people as weapons to enact violence without being formally connected or following orders. This poses challenges for detection without established patterns of terrorist planning and networks. Increased community engagement and intelligence sharing between security agencies will be important to address the threat of future lone wolf attacks.

262_TeamBII_Letter_to_Congressional_Leaders_32011%5b1%5ddave lane
This letter from Team B II summarizes findings from their report "Shariah: The Threat to America" which examines the politico-military doctrine of jihad. It warns that Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated organizations in the US are engaged in "civilization jihad" to impose sharia law. It alleges that the Obama administration obstructed further prosecution of these groups identified as co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial for political reasons, allowing their activities to continue and endangering national security. The letter urges Congressional investigations into these claims and the Muslim Brotherhood's influence on US law enforcement and national security agencies.
A former Marine Corps officer, John Guandolo resigned from the Corps to join the Federal Bureau of Investigation. For nearly two decades, he researched terrorism and trained agents on how to eliminate the terrorist movement. Due to his excellence in the field of counterterrorism, John Guandolo was invited to coauthor Shariah - The Threat to America.
The document discusses the roots and history of the Bloods and Crips gangs in Los Angeles. It traces their origins to the Black Panther Party and other activist groups from the 1960s/70s that were disrupted by the government. Tension between the Crips and newly formed Bloods led to an ongoing gang war over the decades. In the 1990s, the Rodney King riots briefly united them against police brutality before authorities again broke up their collaboration. Today the gang problem continues to impact communities and solutions proposed include improved education, activism by former members, and investing in poor neighborhoods.
1) Gangs are present in the military, as some soldiers were previously in gangs or join them during their service.
2) Investigations have found evidence of gang activity on military installations, including criminal activity and gang-related violence between soldiers.
3) A soldier's death in 2005 was ruled a gang initiation homicide linked to the Gangster Disciples street gang. Several soldiers were convicted or acquitted in connection with the case.

The Salience of Sectarianism, Making Sect Stick in Syria and IraqCraig Browne
This thesis examines how sectarianism became a dominant factor in the conflicts in Syria and Iraq. It argues that while sectarian identities pre-existed in both countries, their importance fluctuated based on context. When protests broke out in Syria and Iraq, the governing authorities quickly adopted sectarian rhetoric and tactics. Over time, opposition groups that were better organized, trained, and financed from abroad grew in influence and also embraced sectarianism. This helped further sectarianize the conflicts as these groups competed with the regimes. The thesis aims to contribute to theories of ethnic conflict by showing how identities are socially constructed and can change based on political and social circumstances. It also examines how international factors, like foreign militant groups, can shape identity
Iran and the Bomb – Summary, Panel Discussion – Nov 18, 2013 – Elan Journocjhs
Journo is a fellow and director of policy research at the Ayn Rand Institute. His book, Winning the Unwinnable War: America's Self-Crippled Response to Islamic Totalitarianism, analyzes post-9/11 U.S. foreign policy from the perspective of Rand's philosophy. His work has appeared in Foreign Policy, the Journal of International Security Affairs, and the Whitehead Journal of Diplomacy and International Relations, and in popular media outlets, including FoxNews.com, the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Sun-Times, and Canada's Globe and Mail. Mr. Journo has briefed Congressional staffers and spoken at numerous campuses, including Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, New York University, George Mason University, and the U.S. Naval Academy.
This document discusses studying terrorism through an intersectional lens by examining how factors like gender, race, class, and power dynamics can influence why individuals engage in terrorism or become victims of terrorism. Specifically, it notes that concepts of masculinity and femininity vary culturally and terrorism may be a way for some to express their gender. Additionally, families may take pride in sons or daughters who become martyrs. The document also examines how people can be victimized due to their race, gender, sexual orientation, class, religion, or other attributes and how victims of terrorism are often vulnerable and unable to help themselves.
This document discusses hate groups and hate crimes. It begins by outlining objectives of showing how dehumanization can take effect and what happens when individuals are set up to fail. It then provides definitions of hate crimes and hate groups under Canadian law. Several examples of hate groups are described on both the left and right sides of the political spectrum. Common rhetoric and propaganda methods used by these groups are examined, including dehumanization, authoritarian leadership, and the promotion of destructive ideologies. Statistics on hate crimes in Canada and locally in Toronto are also presented.
The document summarizes several fringe or lesser-known candidates who are seeking their party's nomination for President in 2016. Terry Jones, who previously attempted to host a "Burn a Quran" event, believes America is in poor moral and economic condition. Robby Wells, seeking the Democratic nomination, has crafted the slogan "eagle-nomics" which combines left and right-wing policies. Phil Bralich describes his political views as between Noam Chomsky and Jesus Christ, and wants controversial Ann Coulter as his Vice President. Some candidates have difficulty getting media attention or are more quiet, like Patrick Drake who believes in "karma" over interviews.
This document discusses racism in America from its origins to modern issues. It notes how racism was foundational to America's establishment through the extermination of Native Americans and slavery of African Americans. Today, racism persists in more subtle forms like crossing the street to avoid someone of a different race or police brutality against unarmed black citizens. Several cases of police killing unarmed black men are described, including Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray, Michael Brown, and Trayvon Martin, where officers were rarely indicted. The document stresses that opening a dialogue is the first step to addressing racism.
The document summarizes information about the Taliban from its Wikipedia page. It discusses that the Taliban formed in 1996 and ruled Afghanistan, imposing strict laws that suppressed women's rights. Women were banned from education and work and forced to wear burqas in public. Those who disobeyed faced punishments like torture and public executions. The Taliban justified this by saying it was restoring moral order, but their rules destroyed women's dignity and freedom. While they ruled with oppression, some Afghan women resisted through secret schools and organizations that documented Taliban abuses.
This document discusses various approaches to studying civil-military relations, including social science, political science, and considering factors like law, philosophy, psychology, and economics. It examines the relationship between civilian groups and armed groups, and between the military and social classes. It also outlines the roles and nature of civilians versus the military in areas like state building, development, and security. It provides models for analyzing the output of different combinations of strong and weak civilians and military. Overall, the document takes a multifaceted approach to analyzing civil-military relations in Myanmar by considering individual, state and international levels.
Obama Strategies; What Lies Beneath; Stupid or Subversive?Gerald Furnkranz
This document discusses President Obama's policies regarding terrorism and immigration, arguing that his actions have intentionally helped terrorist groups like ISIS grow stronger. It claims Obama has nurtured Muslim extremism through premature troop withdrawals from Iraq, weak responses to terrorism, and an open border policy that imports threats. The document also criticizes Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, saying he has lied about inspection protocols. Overall, it portrays Obama as deliberately sabotaging national security through failed strategies that empower America's enemies.

The coauthor of Shariah: The Threat to America, he currently leads Guandolo Associates, LLC, which focuses on national security issues. On his blog at www.blog.understandingthethreat.com, John Guandolo recently wrote about the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) Center, which he describes as Northern Virginia’s most prominent Islamic Jihadi Movement center.
The document discusses automatically identifying Islamophobia in social media text. It begins by introducing the speaker and their areas of research, including hate speech detection. It then provides background on Islamophobia, discussing its origins and definitions. The remainder of the document outlines a project to collect and annotate Twitter data containing mentions of Ilhan Omar to detect Islamophobic sentiment, discussing the pilot annotation process and lessons learned.
The document discusses the concept of extremism, defining it as actions or ideologies outside a society's perceived political center or that violate common moral standards. It notes extremism is usually constructed in opposition to moderation. The document also categorizes different types of extremism and lists major determinants and causes, including things like political deprivation, lack of education, corrupt elites, and exposure to violence at a young age. It argues extremism is not specific to any single religion. The conclusion calls for a holistic strategy incorporating social, religious, educational and other reforms to counter extremist narratives and ideologies.

Islam is a religion of over 1 billion followers worldwide. It is not a new religion but continues the Abrahamic traditions of Judaism and Christianity. The core beliefs of Islam include the oneness of God, faith in prophets including Jesus and Muhammad, holy books such as the Quran, and Judgment Day. Terrorism involves violence against civilians for political goals and is forbidden in Islam. Jihad refers to internal spiritual struggle or external fighting, but only in self-defense and with strict ethical rules of engagement. The document seeks to clarify misunderstandings about Islam and distinguish it from terrorist groups that claim to act in its name.

Satanic Ritual Abuse And The Illuminati Part 1Mormons4justice
Svali shares her experience of being involved with a cult group known as the Illuminati from birth until breaking free as an adult. She describes the Illuminati's secretive organization and hierarchy spanning local groups, regional councils, and major cities across the United States. Their activities include generating wealth through illegal means such as drug trafficking, pornography, gun running, and hiring assassins.
Terrorism is an historical as well as a universal phenomenon; has been practiced by every type of organisation, religious or non-religious, right-wing or left-wing.Consequently, the reasons for the terrorist activity and the identity of those who carry out these acts are always subject to the context, time and place.Unfortunately, there is no consensus on its accurate definition. More than one hundred definitions in the field; one country’s terrorists are other country’s freedom fighters. Rather than seeking the causes of terrorism itself, a better approach is to determine the conditions that make terror possible or likely.Stopping violence is rarely simple or easy. Only time and commitment by a majority of the parties involved can resolve a conflict. Keeping in view the multidimensional nature of terrorism, we must adopt a long term holistic and comprehensive approach for its eradication.
This presentation is an attempt to encompass the various issues related to this complex phemenon and presents a plan of action to control this menace

reply to each post 150 words min .
1. "Explain what psychological and behavioral factors play a role in those ‘homegrown’ individuals becoming radicalized and conducting terrorist attacks within their own nation. Also, address at least one radicalization model mentioned in the required readings that you feel accurately describes the process by which individuals become extremists. "
When looking into recent homegrown terrorist attacks, there are no checklists that the terrorist follow. They all differ and vary, but there are some similarities between them. Typically they have something bad happen in their life that makes them depressed, sad or questioning their belief system and they turn to Islam for help. I think one model is the closest to identifying homegrown terrorists the best. The NYPD has come up with a model that I think best fits and clarifies the process homegrown terrorists go through, prior to, during, and when they become a homegrown terrorist.
The NYPD model is in stages. The first stage is "pre-radicalization". This is the person's life prior to radicalizing. The second stage is "Self Identification", and this is where the radicalization process begins, typically when the individual turns to Islam for guidance during a tough time in their life. Usually the crisis will challenge their previous beliefs and they use Islam to help them through it. "Indoctrination" is the third stage, is when the individual accepts the " jihadi-Salafi " world view, and condones all violence against anything that is non Islam.They believe that western civilization is waging war against Islam and typically stop self serving goals and ideas, and turn to helping, protecting or avenging other Muslims. This is the stage where we see them leave Mosques and get together in smaller groups and hold private meetings with other like minded people and talk about their radical agendas. The fourth and final stage is the “jihadization”. This stage is when the individual has declared themselves as a "holy warrior" or "mujahadeen". This is where they become violently committed to jihad. This stage is where the person will seek para military knowledge and travel abroad to attend training camps. When they return, the gather in their private meetings and plan a terror attack.
2. Explain what psychological and behavioral factors play a role in those ‘homegrown’ individuals becoming radicalized and conducting terrorist attacks within their own nation.
“Homegrown” terrorists are a fascinating bunch. They are interesting in the fact that they knowingly go against a nation they were born in or one that adopted them. After being raised in the American culture or willingly choosing to move into the country, it is bewildering that they can, and want, to carry out their operations. These operations are usually devastating and are carried out against their ‘neighbors’ and innocent people.
But how does one go from an American citizen and ‘grow’ into a terrorist? Accor.
473 2015 up political tolerance competence (1 21-15)mpeffl
This document discusses political tolerance and its support among the public and elites. It begins by asking if the public truly supports democratic principles like free speech or if elites should act as "Guardians of Democracy" to protect it from an intolerant public. It then lists several statements about supporting free speech and examines levels of agreement. The document discusses theories of political tolerance, factors that influence tolerance like education and personality traits, and whether elites or mass education better promote tolerance in a democracy.
This document discusses the history of terrorism in Pakistan. It notes that terrorism became a prominent tool for political agendas in the late 1960s, used by Palestinians. Terrorism in Pakistan has significantly increased since 2001, with over 35,000 Pakistanis killed by 2009. After the US invasion of Afghanistan, al-Qaeda and Taliban sought refuge in Pakistan's tribal areas. Structural flaws in the tribal regions allowed militant groups like the Taliban to operate and offer parallel security/judicial systems. Religiously motivated terrorism poses a major threat today from groups drawing inspiration from Islam, Christianity, and other religions. Militant groups in Pakistan also have sectarian agendas and connections to international terrorist organizations.
This document provides an overview of terrorism, including its definition, historical background, causes and conditions that facilitate its start and survival, as well as strategies to curb it. It discusses terrorism in terms of initiating "pull factors" and "push factors" that motivate individuals to engage in terrorism. It also analyzes sustaining conditions like marginalization, identity politics and lack of political empowerment. The document recommends a multidimensional and coordinated long-term approach, including addressing socioeconomic grievances, improving criminal justice systems, and increasing regional/global cooperation to counter terrorism.
Similar to Muslims in Machine Learning workshop (NeurlPS 2021) - Automatically Identifying Islamophobia in Social Media (15)
Hate speech is language intended to cause harm against a particular individual or group, often based on their racial, ethnic, religious, or gender identity. Hate speech is widespread on social media, and is increasingly common in mainstream political discourse. That said, there is no clear consensus as to what constitutes hate speech. In addition, human moderators come with their own biases, and automatic computer algorithms are often easy to fool. All of these factors complicate the efforts of social media platforms to filter or reduce such content. During this interactive workshop we will discuss examples from Twitter in the hopes of reaching some consensus as to what is and is not hate speech. We will also try to determine what kind of knowledge a human moderator or an automatic algorithm would need to have in order to make this determination. We will try to avoid particularly graphic examples of hate speech and focus on more subtle cases.
Talk on Algorithmic Bias given at York University (Canada) on March 11, 2019. This is a shorter version of an interactive workshop presented at University of Minnesota, Duluth in Feb 2019.
The document discusses the history and evolution of dictionaries from the first English dictionary in 1604 to modern computational approaches using natural language processing. It describes early dictionaries like Robert Cawdrey's Table Alphabeticall and Samuel Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language. Later influential dictionaries included Noah Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language and the Oxford English Dictionary. The document proposes that natural language processing techniques like analyzing word frequencies, collocations, and measures of association could help identify emerging words and senses in new text, similar to the work of lexicographers in compiling dictionaries.
The document summarizes research on using lexical decision lists to screen Twitter users for depression and PTSD. It finds that a simple machine learning method using n-grams of varying length up to 6 words and binary weighting achieved the best results. Emoticons and emojis were strong indicators. The top features indicating depression included terms expressing sadness, while PTSD indicators included abbreviations and URLs. It suggests self-reporting of conditions may indicate something else requiring discussion.

This document provides an overview of what it would be like to complete a Master's thesis under Dr. Ted Pedersen. It discusses that research involves asking interesting questions about the world and conducting experiments to answer those questions. Dr. Pedersen's research interests include natural language processing tasks like word sense disambiguation, semantic similarity, and collocation discovery. To succeed, a student needs enthusiasm for research, strong writing skills, and the ability to work independently while communicating regularly with Dr. Pedersen. Previous students have explored various NLP topics and many have gone on to PhD programs. The reading provided is intended to assess the student's understanding and interest in Dr. Pedersen's research areas.
This document summarizes a tutorial on measuring the similarity and relatedness of concepts. It discusses the distinction between semantic similarity and relatedness. It describes several common measures of similarity that use information from ontologies, such as path-based measures, measures that incorporate path and depth, and measures that incorporate information content. It also discusses measures of relatedness that can be used for concepts that are not connected by ontological relations, such as definition-based measures and measures based on gloss vectors constructed from corpus data. Experimental results generally show that gloss vector measures perform best, followed by definition-based measures, with path-based measures performing the worst.
Some thoughts on what it's like to do a Master's thesis with me, including general ideas about research, my research interests, and a few suggestions as to what will lead to success
This document describes UMLS::Similarity, an open source software that measures the semantic similarity or relatedness of biomedical terms from the Unified Medical Language Systems (UMLS). It provides several measures to quantify similarity/relatedness based on the hierarchical structure and definitions of terms in the UMLS. The software can be used via command line, API, or web interface and has been used in applications like word sense disambiguation.
The document discusses word sense induction systems developed at the University of Minnesota Duluth that were used to cluster web search results. The systems represented web snippets using second-order co-occurrences and were evaluated in Task 11 of SemEval-2013. The best performing system (Sys1) used more data in the form of web-like text and achieved an F-10 score of 46.53, outperforming systems that used larger amounts of out-of-domain news text. Future work could look at augmenting data by expanding snippets and using more web-based resources like Wikipedia.
These are the slides for a talk given at the University of Alabama, Birmingham on April 19, 2013. The title of the talk is "Measuring Similarity and Relatedness in the Biomedical Domain : Methods and Applications"
Measuring Semantic Similarity and Relatedness in the Biomedical Domain : Methods and Applications - presented Feb 21, 2012 as a webinar to the Mayo Clinic BMI group.
The document summarizes a tutorial on measuring semantic similarity and relatedness between medical concepts. It introduces different types of measures, including path-based measures, measures using information content that incorporate concept specificity, and measures of relatedness that use definition overlaps or corpus co-occurrence information. The tutorial aims to explain the distinction between similarity and relatedness, describe available measures, and how to evaluate and apply them in clinical natural language processing tasks.
The document describes experiments conducted to evaluate measures of association for identifying the compositionality of word pairs. It discusses two hypotheses: 1) word pairs with higher association scores are less compositional, and 2) more frequent word pairs are more compositional. Three systems are described that use different measures of association (t-score, PMI, PMI) to classify word pair compositionality in a shared task. While the t-score performed best at identifying compositionality, PMI and frequency-based measures showed less success.
The document discusses replicability and reproducibility in ACL conferences. It argues that empirical papers should include software and data so results can be reproduced. An analysis found that most papers from ACL 2011 did not include software or data. Generally descriptions were incomplete and few papers allowed true reproducibility. The author calls for higher standards, weighting replicability more in reviews, and removing blind submissions to improve transparency.
Factors affecting undergraduate students’ motivation at a university in Tra VinhAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Motivation plays an important role in foreign language learning process. This study aimed to
investigate student’s motivation patterns towards English language learning at a University in Tra Vinh, and factors
affecting their motivation change toward English language learning of non-English-major students in the semester.
The researcher used semi-structured interview at the first phase of choosing the participants and writing reflection
through the instrument called “My English Learning Motivation History” adapted from Sawyer (2007) to collect
qualitative data within 15 weeks. The participants consisted of nine first year non-English-major students who learning
General English at pre-intermediate level. They were chosen and divided into three groups of three members each
(high motivation group; average motivation group; and low motivation group). The results of the present study
identified six visual motivation patterns of three groups of students with different motivation fluctuation, through the
use of cluster analysis. The study also indicated a diversity of factors affecting students’ motivation involving internal
factors as influencing factors (cognitive, psychology, and emotion) and external factors as social factors (instructor,
peers, family, and learning environment) during English language learning in a period of 15 weeks. The findings of
the study helped teacher understand relationship of motivation change and its influential factors. Furthermore, the
findings also inspired next research about motivation development in learning English process.
KEY WORDS: language learning motivation, motivation change, motivation patterns, influential factors, students’
motivation.

Muslims in Machine Learning workshop (NeurlPS 2021) - Automatically Identifying Islamophobia in Social Media
1. Automatically Identifying Islamophobia
in Social Media
Ted Pedersen
Department of Computer Science
University of Minnesota, Duluth
tpederse@umn.edu

http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse
2. Today’s Agenda
Islamophobia in general and in Minnesota
Collecting & Annotating Twitter Data
What We’ve Learned from Annotating
The Way Forward
3. Islamophobia
A legacy of colonial histories,
particularly those that view the
Muslim world as exotic,
savage, dangerous - all
leading to a “Clash of
Civlilizations.”
Orientalism (Said, 1978)
4. Islamophobia
A recent term for an older phenomena
Runnymede Trust (1997,
2017)
Unfounded hostility towards Islam
Practical consequences of such
hostility in unfair discrimination
against Muslim individuals and
communities
Exclusion of Muslims from mainstream
political and social affairs.
5. Common Anti-Muslim Tropes (Bridge Institute)
Islam and Muslims are inherently
violent.
Islam and Muslims are oppresive
to women.
Islam and Muslims are intolerant
towards other religions.
Islam is a political ideology, not
a religion.
In the West, Mulims are using
non-violent stealth jihad to
implement Sharia Law.
Islam is foreign, medieval, and
at odds with Western modernity.
Islam is a monolith.
All Muslims are Arab or Brown.
11. Goal : Identify Islamophobia in Social Media Text
Why?
Relatively understudied in NLP.
Highly intersectional problem since Muslim identity is multi-faceted.
Significant influence on events in the World, the USA, and Minnesota.
How?
Use ideas from NLP, especially Hate Speech Detection.
Create annotated corpora in order to understand problem better, and then
apply Machine Learning or Deep Learning.
12. Guiding Principles
This is not Just Another Classification Task. Seek out domain expertise, build
relationships, don’t reduce the problem to a data set.
Frey et al. (2018). Artificial Intelligence and Inclusion: Formerly Gang-Involved
Youth as Domain Experts for Analyzing Unstructured Twitter Data. Social
Science Computer Review.
Creating annotated data is likely necessary. Be careful to fully document the
decisions made along the way, paying special attention to annotator background.
Bender and Friedman (2018) Data Statements for NLP : Toward Mitigating
Systems Bias and Enabling Better Science. TACL.
13. How Can We Detect Islamophobia (with NLP)?
Carry out a Qualitative Analysis of text with input from domain experts.
Collect and annotate Tweets.
Seek out a diverse pool of annotators.
Develop annotation scheme / code book.
Be Iterative.
Carry out Quantitative Analysis using Machine Learning or Deep Learning.
14. Data Collection
Islamophobia is global, but has many local variations each with their own issues,
terminology, and ways of being expressed.
This suggests the need for the data to have a regional focus - Islamophobia in the
UK, France, India, the USA, Minnesota, etc.
While she is a national figure, Ilhan Omar is from Minnesota, and our data
collection starts with her.
Muslim, but also a black Somali woman who was an immigrant / refugee.
Highly intersectional identity.
15. Tweet Collection (using Twitter public API)
Collecting since April 2019, any tweet that includes one or more of :
‘Ilhan omar’, ilhan, omar, @ilhanmn, ilhanmn, #ilhanmn, #ilhanomar, #ilhan
Pilot Annotation based on April 2019 - April 2020, approx 5 million total tweets.
1020 Annotation based on Nov. 2019 - Oct. 2020, approx 10 million total tweets.
Twitter public API does not give you all tweets, downsamples.
16. 1020 Annotation (October 2020)
9.6 million tweets (incl. RT) collected Nov 2019 - Oct 2020.
1 million unique tweets.
Selected random samples of 384 tweets for annotation.
Agreement improved with more extensive set of labels.
Began to consider profile descriptions of “speakers” (Tweeters).

30.
31. Lessons Learned
Impact of “lock her up” and “send her back” rhetoric clearly seen in annotation.
Annotation labels must be nuanced, can’t simply label as Islamophobic or not
since content may be based on gender, race, immigration or marital status,
political beliefs in addition to or instead of religion.
A highly visible or politicized personality attracts a lot of repetitive and viral content
based on most recent accusation or conspiracy.
Profile descriptions are an important clues.
32. Current Questions
Which public events are correlated with online Islamophobia?
What is the impact of Tweeter location and profile description?
How are less prominent public figures who are Muslim targeted?
Are political figures who are known to be Christian, Jewish, Hindu, and other
religions targeted to greater or lesser extents?
Can crowdsourcing be effective for more nuanced annotation problems?
