Abstract: Described is a system for discriminating between individual accounts and organization accounts in a social media network. The system processes data from a social media network comprising a set of user accounts. A directed mention network, a bi-directed mention network, and a set of computer-observable network metrics are generated. A classification model is trained using the set of computer-observable network metrics and a set of ground-truth user accounts. The trained classification model is used to classify each user account in the set of user accounts as an individual account or an organization account, resulting in a set of classified user accounts.
