• Abstract summary: We present a new deep learning-based method that fuses a Back Translation method, and a Paraphrasing technique for data augmentation. We evaluate our proposal on five publicly available datasets; namely, AskFm corpus, Formspring dataset, Warner and Waseem dataset, Olid, and Wikipedia toxic comments dataset.

• Abstract: With proliferation of user generated contents in social media platforms, establishing mechanisms to automatically identify toxic and abusive content becomes a prime concern for regulators, researchers, and society. Keeping the balance between freedom of speech and respecting each other dignity is a major concern of social media platform regulators. Although, automatic detection of offensive content using deep learning approaches seems to provide encouraging results, training deep learning-based models requires large amounts of high-quality labeled data, which is often missing. In this regard, we present in this paper a new deep learning-based method that fuses a Back Translation method, and a Paraphrasing technique for data augmentation. Our pipeline investigates different word-embedding-based architectures for classification of hate speech. The back translation technique relies on an encoder-decoder architecture pre-trained on a large corpus and mostly used for machine translation. In addition, paraphrasing exploits the transformer model and the mixture of experts to generate diverse paraphrases. Finally, LSTM, and CNN are compared to seek enhanced classification results. We evaluate our proposal on five publicly available datasets; namely, AskFm corpus, Formspring dataset, Warner and Waseem dataset, Olid, and Wikipedia toxic comments dataset. The performance of the proposal together with comparison to some related state-of-art results demonstrate the effectiveness and soundness of our proposal.

  This study focuses on detecting bilingual hate speech in YouTube comments. We include factors such as content similarity, definition similarity, and common hate words to measure the impact of datasets on performance. The best performance was obtained by combining datasets from YouTube comments, Twitter, and Gab with an F1-score of 0.74 and 0.68 for English and German YouTube comments.

  A robust summarization system should be able to capture the gist of the document, regardless of the specific word choices or noise in the input. We first explore the summarization models' robustness against perturbations including word-level synonym substitution and noise. We propose a SummAttacker, which is an efficient approach to generating adversarial samples based on language models.

  Existing works on hate speech and offensive language detection produce promising results based on pre-trained transformer models. This paper addresses a multi-task joint learning approach which combines external emotional features extracted from another corpora. Our findings demonstrate that emotional knowledge helps to more reliably identify hate speech and offensive language across datasets.

Hate speech detection algorithms deployed by most social networking platforms are unable to filter out offensive and abusive content posted in these code-mixed languages. We propose a methodology for efficient detection of unstructured code-mix Hinglish language.
