- Abstract: Hate speech is plaguing the cyberspace along with user-generated content.
This paper investigates the role of conversational context in the annotation
and detection of online hate and counter speech, where context is defined as
the preceding comment in a conversation thread. We created a context-aware
dataset for a 3-way classification task on Reddit comments: hate speech,
counter speech, or neutral. Our analyses indicate that context is critical to
identify hate and counter speech: human judgments change for most comments
depending on whether we show annotators the context. A linguistic analysis
draws insights into the language people use to express hate and counter speech.
Experimental results show that neural networks obtain significantly better
results if context is taken into account. We also present qualitative error
analyses shedding light into (a) when and why context is beneficial and (b) the
remaining errors made by our best model when context is taken into account.

- 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.

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.

Representations [49.55101900501656]
We decompose speech into discrete and disentangled learned representations, consisting of content units, F0, speaker, and emotion.
First, we modify the speech content by translating the content units to a target emotion, and then predict the prosodic features based on these units.
Finally, the speech waveform is generated by feeding the predicted representations into a neural vocoder.

Context-aware machine translation models are designed to leverage contextual information, but often fail to do so.
In this paper, we ask several questions: What contexts do human translators use to resolve ambiguous words?
We introduce SCAT (Supporting Context for Ambiguous Translations), a new English-French dataset comprising supporting context words for 14K translations.
Using SCAT, we perform an in-depth analysis of the context used to disambiguate, examining positional and lexical characteristics of the supporting words.
