Abstract :
Web forums provide platforms for any Internet users around the world to communicate with each other and express their opinions. In many of the discussions in Web forums, it involves issues related to terrorism and crime. Some participants are even using the platform to propagandize their ideology or recruit members to commit crime. In this work, we propose a Web forum analysis system to analyze the content development and visualize the social interactions in Web forum.
