• Abstract summary: Recent work presented the OLID dataset, which follows a taxonomy for offensive language identification. In this work, we present SOLID, an expanded dataset, where the tweets were collected in a more principled manner. We demonstrate that using SOLID along with OLID yields sizable performance gains on the OLID test set for two different models.

• Abstract: The widespread use of offensive content in social media has led to an abundance of research in detecting language such as hate speech, cyberbullying, and cyber-aggression. Recent work presented the OLID dataset, which follows a taxonomy for offensive language identification that provides meaningful information for understanding the type and the target of offensive messages. However, it is limited in size and it might be biased towards offensive language as it was collected using keywords. In this work, we present SOLID, an expanded dataset, where the tweets were collected in a more principled manner. SOLID contains over nine million English tweets labeled in a semi-supervised fashion. We demonstrate that using SOLID along with OLID yields sizable performance gains on the OLID test set for two different models, especially for the lower levels of the taxonomy.

  In this paper, we explore offensive language identification in texts with transliterations and code-mixing. We introduce TB-OLID, a transliterated Bangla offensive language dataset containing 5,000 manually annotated comments. We train and fine-tune machine learning models on TB-OLID, and we evaluate their results on this dataset.

  This paper investigates the effect of scaling datasets on hateful content through a comparative audit of two datasets: LAION-400M and LAION-2B. We found that hate content increased by nearly 12% with dataset scale, measured both qualitatively and quantitatively. We also found that filtering dataset contents based on Not Safe For Work (NSFW) values calculated based on images alone does not exclude all the harmful content in alt-text.

  In this work we leverage datasets we already have, covering a wide range of tasks related to abusive language detection. Our goal is to build models cheaply for a new target label set and/or language, using only a few training examples of the target domain. Our experiments show that using already existing datasets and only a few-shots of the target task the performance of models improve both monolingually and across languages.

  This paper tackles offensive language identification in Sinhala, a low-resource Indo-Aryan language spoken by over 17 million people in Sri Lanka. SOLD is a manually annotated dataset containing 10,000 posts from Twitter annotated as offensive and not offensive at both sentence-level and token-level. We also introduce SemiSOLD, a larger dataset containing more than 145,000 Sinhala tweets, annotated following a semi-supervised approach.
