Abstract

The identification of criminal suspects on social networks (e.g., pedophilia, terrorism, etc.) has been highlighted in recent years. However, in the literature, interactions derived from the textual content posted on these networks are not always considered. Thus, the present work presents an algorithm, called TROY, capable of making these interactions and their impacts explicit in order to support the identification of suspects. Furthermore, given the difficulties in obtaining datasets in Portuguese for experiments, this work presents a new way to build a dataset for new experiments, using the link prediction task. The results obtained, through the experiments, demonstrate an improvement in the identification of suspects.
