INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FOR DETERMINING THE POLITICAL DIRECTION OF INFORMATION SOURCES TO ENSURE THE INFORMATION SECURITY OF THE STATE DURING CRISIS SITUATIONS

Abstract

The information technology of analysis and determination of the political orientation of information sources on the Internet and social networks has been developed and proposed. Based on the application of the machine learning library and fastText text classification, a model was created to determine the political orientation of open information sources. Modules for scanning sources of open information on the Internet and social networks have been developed, which ensure the implementation of the following functions: the formation of databases by collecting information from specified information resources; setting up modules for automatic scanning of information from websites and social networks; full-text search; extracting entities from individual documents; determination of the political orientation of information sources. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the creation of a working layout of the system for determining the political orientation of electronic sources of information. The system provides extraction of the following entities from text messages: keywords; persons; geographical locations (toponyms); organizations The web interface of the system was developed with the help of the high-level open Python framework for the development of Django web systems. Also, for the convenience of mobile device users with the system of analysis and determination of the political direction of information sources on the Internet, the Telegram bot was developed. Information search functions are available in the system interface by keywords, time period, and separately by each information source (social network). The system makes it possible to examine each source separately, to check the availability of information about it, thereby supplementing the database of open information sources. The system automatically generates a digest with messages and concepts most relevant to users' needs. In addition, users have the opportunity to view the most popular channels of information according to a certain political orientation. The display of the most relevant toponyms on the map has been implemented. Variants of possible application of the system are proposed. Currently, the system is relevant and represents the implementation of information technology for the automated determination of the political direction of electronic sources of information
