• Title: Hate Me Not: Detecting Hate Inducing Memes in Code Switched Languages
• Authors: Kshitij Rajput, Raghav Kapoor, Kaushal Rai, Preeti Kaur
• Abstract summary: In countries like India, where multiple languages are spoken, these abhorrent posts are from an unusual blend of code-switched languages. This hate speech is depicted with the help of images to form "Memes" which create a long-lasting impact on the human mind. We take up the task of hate and offense detection from multimodal data, i.e. images (Memes) that contain text in code-switched languages.

• Abstract: The rise in the number of social media users has led to an increase in the hateful content posted online. In countries like India, where multiple languages are spoken, these abhorrent posts are from an unusual blend of code-switched languages. This hate speech is depicted with the help of images to form "Memes" which create a long-lasting impact on the human mind. In this paper, we take up the task of hate and offense detection from multimodal data, i.e. images (Memes) that contain text in code-switched languages. We firstly present a novel triply annotated Indian political Memes (IPM) dataset, which comprises memes from various Indian political events that have taken place post-independence and are classified into three distinct categories. We also propose a binary-channelled CNN cum LSTM based model to process the images using the CNN model and text using the LSTM model to get state-of-the-art results for this task.

To solve these tasks, we propose DORA, a multimodal deep neural network that systematically extracts the significant modality features from the memes.

  We offer a comprehensive survey with a focus on harmful memes. One interesting finding is that many types of harmful memes are not really studied, e.g., such featuring self-harm and extremism. Another observation is that memes can propagate globally through repackaging in different languages and that they can also be multilingual.

  We collect hateful and non-hateful memes from Pinterest to evaluate out-of-sample performance on models pre-trained on the Facebook dataset. We find that memes in the wild differ in two key aspects: 1) Captions must be extracted via OCR, and 2) Memes are more diverse than traditional memes', including screenshots of conversations or text on a plain background.
