• Abstract: Hate speech has grown significantly on social media, causing serious consequences for victims of all demographics. Despite much attention being paid to characterize and detect discriminatory speech, most work has focused on explicit or overt hate speech, failing to address a more pervasive form based on coded or indirect language. To fill this gap, this work introduces a theoretically-justified taxonomy of implicit hate speech and a benchmark corpus with fine-grained labels for each message and its implication. We present systematic analyses of our dataset using contemporary baselines to detect and explain implicit hate speech, and we discuss key features that challenge existing models. This dataset will continue to serve as a useful benchmark for understanding this multifaceted issue.

• Towards Interpretable Hate Speech Detection using Large Language Model-extracted Rationales [15.458557611029518]
  Social media platforms are a prominent arena for users to engage in interpersonal discussions and express opinions. There arises a need to automatically identify and flag instances of hate speech. We propose to use state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) to extract features in the form of rationales from the input text.

  A major limitation of existing methods is that hate speech detection is a highly contextual problem. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in several natural language tasks. Our study reveals that a meticulously crafted reasoning prompt can effectively capture the context of hate speech.

  We introduce a hate speech detection framework, HARE, which harnesses the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to fill gaps in explanations of hate speech. Experiments on SBIC and Implicit Hate benchmarks show that our method, using model-generated data, consistently outperforms baselines. Our method enhances the explanation quality of trained models and improves generalization to unseen datasets.

  CoSyn is a context-synergized neural network that explicitly incorporates user- and conversational context for detecting implicit hate speech in online conversations. We show that CoSyn outperforms all our baselines in detecting implicit hate speech with absolute improvements in the range of 1.24% - 57.8%.

• 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.
