To do so, we present and employ a lexicon-based approach that completely depends on the wall contents of users. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study towards kinship detection for both the type of input data (i.e., free OSN text) and the language (i.e., Turkish). We perform our experiments on a crawled snapshot of public Facebook data collected from accounts of users in Turkey. Our results are promising and show that a content-based approach can be a good starting point for future works even though it has some challenges. © 2021 IEEE.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFacebookkinship detectionSocial networksConference Object
