• Title: Personalized Prediction of Offensive News Comments by Considering the Characteristics of Commenters
• Authors: Teruki Nakahara and Taketoshi Ushiama
• Abstract summary: This study aims to predict such offensive comments to improve the quality of the experience of the reader while reading comments. By considering the diversity of the readers' values, the proposed method predicts offensive news comments for each reader based on the feedback from a small number of news comments that the reader rated as "offensive" in the past. The experimental results of the proposed method show that prediction can be personalized even when the amount of readers' feedback data used in the prediction is limited.

• Abstract: When reading news articles on social networking services and news sites, readers can view comments marked by other people on these articles. By reading these comments, a reader can understand the public opinion about the news, and it is often helpful to grasp the overall picture of the news. However, these comments often contain offensive language that readers do not prefer to read. This study aims to predict such offensive comments to improve the quality of the experience of the reader while reading comments. By considering the diversity of the readers' values, the proposed method predicts offensive news comments for each reader based on the feedback from a small number of news comments that the reader rated as "offensive" in the past. In addition, we used a machine learning model that considers the characteristics of the commenters to make predictions, independent of the words and topics in news comments. The experimental results of the proposed method show that prediction can be personalized even when the amount of readers' feedback data used in the prediction is limited. In particular, the proposed method, which considers the commenters' characteristics, has a low probability of false detection of offensive comments.

  We analyse 1.2 million comments from Austrian newspaper Der Standard to understand the "News Comment Gap" and the effects of different ranking algorithms. We find that journalists prefer positive, timely, complex, direct responses, while readers favour comments similar to article content from elite authors.

  Comments could reflect users' opinions, stances, and emotions and models deepen their understanding of fake news. Due to exposure bias and users' different willingness to comment, it is not easy to obtain diverse comments in reality. We propose GenFEND, a generated feedback-enhanced detection framework, which generates comments by prompting LLMs with diverse user profiles.

For saliency information detection, we introduce Bernoulli distribution estimating on news content to select saliency information.

We propose a principled approach to alleviating selection bias in fake news dissemination.
