• Authors: Safa Alsafari, Samira Sadaoui, Malek Mouhoub
• Abstract summary: We investigate the impact of both word embedding models and neural network architectures on the predictive accuracy. We first train several word embedding models on a large-scale unlabelled Arabic text corpus. For each detection task, we train several neural network classifiers using the pre-trained word embedding models. This task yields a large number of various learned models, which allows conducting an exhaustive comparison.

• Abstract: Deep neural networks have been adopted successfully in hate speech detection problems. Nevertheless, the effect of the word embedding models on the neural network's performance has not been appropriately examined in the literature. In our study, through different detection tasks, 2-class, 3-class, and 6-class classification, we investigate the impact of both word embedding models and neural network architectures on the predictive accuracy. Our focus is on the Arabic language. We first train several word embedding models on a large-scale unlabelled Arabic text corpus. Next, based on a dataset of Arabic hate and offensive speech, for each detection task, we train several neural network classifiers using the pre-trained word embedding models. This task yields a large number of various learned models, which allows conducting an exhaustive comparison. The empirical analysis demonstrates, on the one hand, the superiority of the skip-gram models and, on the other hand, the superiority of the CNN network across the three detection tasks.

Our results show the limited impact of preprocessing on model performance, with the best results for less noisy data being achieved by neural network- and machine-learning-based models.

  Morphologically rich languages pose difficulties to machine translation. A large amount of differently inflected word surface forms entails a larger vocabulary. Some inflected forms of infrequent terms typically do not appear in the training corpus. Linguistic agreement requires the system to correctly match the grammatical categories between inflected word forms in the output sentence.

We tested the model's predictions in a behavioral experiment where humans detected violations in number agreement in sentences with systematic variations in the singular/plural status of multiple nouns.
