  • 构建分层模型,从来源、情绪和目标国三方面识别操控性言论
  • 发现2.4万账号存在协同操纵行为,道德谴责类内容互动率更高
  • 适合平台安全团队与舆情监测机构参考,用于预警极端化叙事

协同的外国影响力操作对在线平台构成日益严峻的威胁,但检测国家关联的网络水军活动并追踪其演变仍具挑战。本文提出一种可解释的机器学习框架,用于理论指导下的检测与纵向分析韩国新闻评论区的疑似操纵行为。该分层模型从三个影响传播核心维度对评论进行分类:外国来源、道德情感化表述、目标国家。为增强可解释性,模型还提取简短文本片段作为人类可读的理由依据。我们将其应用于近20年间由400万用户发布的1.12亿条韩国新闻评论,识别出23,998个行为符合协同操纵特征的账户。分析表明,这些账户主要依赖道德谴责式话语,而非直接宣传外方立场;此类话语获得显著更高的用户互动。在高互动评论中,道德谴责最常针对国内政治人物(如总统或政党领袖),无论左右派,可能加剧社会极化。本框架通过可解释、基于证据的治理支持透明平台管理,所观察到的话语模式与互动规律,可帮助平台与监测机构优先部署防御措施,在有害叙事组合广泛传播前及时干预。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Coordinated foreign influence operations pose a growing threat to online platforms, but detecting state-linked troll activity and tracking its evolution remain challenging. This paper presents an explainable machine learning framework for theory-guided detection and longitudinal analysis of suspected trolling within Korean online news comment sections. Our hierarchical model classifies comments along three dimensions central to influence campaigns: foreign origin, moral-emotional framing, and target country. To support explainability, it also extracts brief span-level textual evidence that provides human-interpretable rationales. We apply the approach to 112M South Korean news comments authored by 4M users over nearly 20 years, identifying 23,998 accounts exhibiting behavior consistent with coordinated manipulation. Analyzing these accounts, we find that they predominantly rely on morally condemning rhetoric rather than direct promotion of foreign-aligned narratives; this rhetoric receives significantly higher user engagement. Among the highest-engagement comments, the moral condemnation most frequently targets domestic political figures (e.g., presidents or party leaders) on both the left and the right, potentially amplifying polarization. Our framework supports transparent platform governance through explainable, evidence-based moderation. These observed rhetorical and engagement patterns can inform how platforms and observatories prioritize defenses and intervene before harmful narrative-target combinations achieve widespread reach.
