• Abstract: Zero-shot cross-lingual transfer learning has been shown to be highly challenging for tasks involving a lot of linguistic specificities or when a cultural gap is present between languages, such as in hate speech detection. In this paper, we highlight this limitation for hate speech detection in several domains and languages using strict experimental settings. Then, we propose to train on multilingual auxiliary tasks -- sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, and tasks relying on syntactic information -- to improve zero-shot transfer of hate speech detection models across languages. We show how hate speech detection models benefit from a cross-lingual knowledge proxy brought by auxiliary tasks fine-tuning and highlight these tasks' positive impact on bridging the hate speech linguistic and cultural gap between languages.

  Most hate speech datasets so far focus on English-language content. More data is needed, but annotating hateful content is expensive, time-consuming and potentially harmful to annotators. We explore data-efficient strategies for expanding hate speech detection into under-resourced languages.

• Highly Generalizable Models for Multilingual Hate Speech Detection [0.0]
  Hate speech detection has become an important research topic within the past decade. We compile a dataset of 11 languages and resolve different by analyzing the combined data with binary labels: hate speech or not hate speech. We conduct three types of experiments for a binary hate speech classification task: Multilingual-Train Monolingual-Test, MonolingualTrain Monolingual-Test and Language-Family-Train Monolingual Test scenarios.

• 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.

  We investigate the cross-lingual hate speech detection task, tackling the problem by adapting the hate speech resources from one language to another. We propose a cross-lingual capsule network learning model coupled with extra domain-specific lexical semantics for hate speech. Our model achieves state-of-the-art performance on benchmark datasets from AMI@Evalita 2018 and AMI@Ibereval 2018.

  We use singular vector canonical correlation analysis to study what kind of information is induced from each source. We observe that our representations embed typology and strengthen correlations with language relationships. We then take advantage of our multi-view language vector space for multilingual machine translation, where we achieve competitive overall translation accuracy.
