Abstract
Using Knowledge Graphs to understand noisy naturalistic data has gained significant prominence in recent years. In this paper, we apply Knowledge Graphs to a new dataset of tweets of an ideologically far-right Twitter network by sourcing tweet histories of users who discussed QAnon in the summer of 2018 [1]. We further develop a new method that arms topic models with relational information from Knowledge Graphs and apply the new technique to study this dataset. Our analysis shows that users do not form a monolithic belief or social network, but rather comprise many smaller interlinking communities which discuss unique key political events (e.g., the January 6 th Capitol riots).
