• Abstract: Automated hate speech detection in social media is a challenging task that has recently gained significant traction in the data mining and Natural Language Processing community. However, most of the existing methods adopt a supervised approach that depended heavily on the annotated hate speech datasets, which are imbalanced and often lack training samples for hateful content. This paper addresses the research gaps by proposing a novel multitask learning-based model, AngryBERT, which jointly learns hate speech detection with sentiment classification and target identification as secondary relevant tasks. We conduct extensive experiments to augment three commonly-used hate speech detection datasets. Our experiment results show that AngryBERT outperforms state-of-the-art single-task-learning and multitask learning baselines. We conduct ablation studies and case studies to empirically examine the strengths and characteristics of our AngryBERT model and show that the secondary tasks are able to improve hate speech detection.

  In the Russia-Ukraine war, both opposing factions heavily relied on text-embedded images as a vehicle for spreading propaganda and hate speech. In this paper, we outline our methodologies for two subtasks of Multimodal Hate Speech Event Detection 2023. For the first subtask, hate speech detection, we utilize multimodal deep learning models boosted by ensemble learning and syntactical text attributes. For the second subtask, target detection, we employ multimodal deep learning models boosted by named entity features.

• Addressing the Challenges of Cross-Lingual Hate Speech Detection [115.1352779982269]
  In this paper we focus on cross-lingual transfer learning to support hate speech detection in low-resource languages. We leverage cross-lingual word embeddings to train our neural network systems on the source language and apply it to the target language. We investigate the issue of label imbalance of hate speech datasets, since the high ratio of non-hate examples compared to hate examples often leads to low model performance.
