Researchers studied user lifetime prediction in the location-based social network Jodel within Saudi Arabia, leveraging its disjoint communities. Machine learning models, particularly Random Forest, were trained to predict user lifetime as a regression and classification problem. A single countrywide model generalizes well and performs similarly to community-specific models.

A study analyzes spam content on trending hashtags on Saudi Twitter, finding that approximately 75% of the total generated content is spam. The paper assesses the performance of previous spam detection systems on a newly gathered dataset and proposes an updated manual classification algorithm to improve accuracy. Adapted features are used to build a new data-driven detection system to respond to spammers' evolving techniques. Why it matters: The high prevalence of spam in Arabic content on Twitter necessitates the development of adaptive detection techniques to maintain the quality and trustworthiness of online information in the region.
