• Authors: Berta Chulvi, Alejandro Toselli, Paolo Rosso
• Abstract summary: We compute a novel index, the ingroup vs outgroup index, in three different datasets and show that both phenomena share an "us vs them" narrative.

• Abstract: In this paper we raise the research question of whether fake news and hate speech spreaders share common patterns in language. We compute a novel index, the ingroup vs outgroup index, in three different datasets and we show that both phenomena share an "us vs them" narrative.

• Toward Joint Language Modeling for Speech Units and Text [89.32163954508489]
  We explore joint language modeling for speech units and text. We introduce automatic metrics to evaluate how well the joint LM mixes speech and text. Our results show that by mixing speech units and text with our proposed mixing techniques, the joint LM improves over a speech-only baseline on SLU tasks.

  We present a novel task of translating hate speech into non-hate speech text while preserving its meaning. We provide a dataset and several baselines as a starting point for further research. The aim of this study is to contribute to the development of more effective methods for reducing the spread of hate speech in online communities.

  We first adopt a human-guided machine learning framework to develop a new dataset for hyperpartisan news title detection. Overall the Right media tends to use proportionally more hyperpartisan titles. We identify three major topics including foreign issues, political systems, and societal issues that are suggestive of hyperpartisanship in news titles.

  We present linguistic characteristics of media news items to differentiate between fake news and real news using machine learning algorithms. We use neural networks which mainly control distributional features rather than evidence. Features unique, negative, positive, and cardinal numbers with high values on the metrics are observed to provide a high area under the curve (AUC) and F1-score.

  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.
