Abstract
This presentation emerged from a project at the Digital Methods Summer School at the University of Amsterdam (https://wiki.digitalmethods.net/Dmi/SummerSchool2014). Tommaso Elli, Myrthe Bil, Claudio Coletta, Iris Beerepot, Carlo de Gaetano and Christoph Lutz formed the project group. We were interested in the representation of Twitter bots at the World Cup 2014 in Brasil and used different approaches and techniques to detect the bots. It must be said, though, that our approach is largely explorative and cannot provide an exhaustive overview of bot activity at the WorldCupt 2014. Still, some interesting findings emerged that we compiled to this presentation.
