Abstract: In this paper, we explore the influence of COVID-19 related content in tweets on their spreadability. The experiment is performed in two steps on the dataset of tweets in the Croatian language posted during the COVID-19 pandemics. In the first step, we train a feedforward neural network model to predict if a tweet is highly-spreadable or not. The trained model achieves 62.5\% accuracy on the binary classification problem. In the second step, we use this model in a set of experiments for predicting the average spreadability of tweets. In these e...
