Özet

The concept of Cyber Security (CS) has been started to be used with the development of Internet technology. Nowadays, CS has vital importance and Cyber Terror and Extremism (CTE) is one of the CS problems. Terror must be detected before terrorism comes true. In other words, people who commit the crime must be detected automatically before they move on. At this stage, what people say about some issues is very valuable because sayings can be turned into actions. The aim of this study is to use Antisocial Behavior dataset to try to detect CTE in the text contents. To detect CTE, text documents should be converted to numerical vectors which consist of numerical weights of the terms present in the text documents. Vectors are computed by using four different weighting methods in our study. These methods are the well-known binary weighting, term frequency based weighting, term frequency and inverse document frequency based weighting, and our proposed fuzzy set based weighting methods. Naive Bayes Multinomial (NBM) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) are used as classifiers to compare the performances of the weighting methods for CTE detection. Our experimental analysis shows that fuzzy set based weighting method with SVM classifier gives the best classification accuracy which reaches up to 99%.
