• Title: Explainable Identification of Hate Speech towards Islam using Graph Neural Networks
• Authors: Azmine Toushik Wasi,
• Abstract summary: This study introduces a novel paradigm using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to identify and explain hate speech towards Islam. Our model leverages GNNs to understand the context and patterns of hate speech by connecting texts via pretrained NLP-generated word embeddings. This highlights the potential of GNNs in combating online hate speech and fostering a safer, more inclusive online environment.

• Abstract: Islamophobic language on online platforms fosters intolerance, making detection and elimination crucial for promoting harmony. Traditional hate speech detection models rely on NLP techniques like tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, and encoder-decoder models. However, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), with their ability to utilize relationships between data points, offer more effective detection and greater explainability. In this work, we represent speeches as nodes and connect them with edges based on their context and similarity to develop the graph. This study introduces a novel paradigm using GNNs to identify and explain hate speech towards Islam. Our model leverages GNNs to understand the context and patterns of hate speech by connecting texts via pretrained NLP-generated word embeddings, achieving state-of-the-art performance and enhancing detection accuracy while providing valuable explanations. This highlights the potential of GNNs in combating online hate speech and fostering a safer, more inclusive online environment.

  Graph neural networks (GNNs) usually lack interpretability due to their complex computational behavior and the abstract nature of graphs. Most GNN explanation methods work in a post-hoc manner and provide explanations in the form of a small subset of important edges and/or nodes. In this paper we demonstrate that these explanations can unfortunately not be trusted, as common GNN explanation methods turn out to be highly susceptible to adversarial perturbations.

  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.

  Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have boosted the performance for many graph-related tasks. Recent studies have shown that GNNs are highly vulnerable to adversarial attacks, where adversaries can mislead the GNNs' prediction by modifying graphs. We propose a novel attack framework (GEAttack) which can attack both a GNN model and its explanations by simultaneously exploiting their vulnerabilities.
