The dataset consists of the data released by Twitter on October 2018 for Russian and Iranian state-sponsored troll accounts, which is available at https://about.twitter.com/en_us/values/elections-integrity.html#data as well as intermediate data that we generated after processing the raw data.
For instance, we include trained Word2Vec and LDA models, the output of our influence estimation experiments via Hawkes Processes, and a lot of other data necessary to reproduce the results in the paper.
