• Abstract: The dominance of social media has added to the channels of bullying for perpetrators. Unfortunately, cyberbullying (CB) is the most prevalent phenomenon in todays cyber world, and is a severe threat to the mental and physical health of citizens. This opens the need to develop a robust system to prevent bullying content from online forums, blogs, and social media platforms to manage the impact in our society. Several machine learning (ML) algorithms have been proposed for this purpose. However, their performances are not consistent due to high class imbalance and generalisation issues. In recent years, large language models (LLMs) like BERT and RoBERTa have achieved state-of-the-art (SOTA) results in several natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Unfortunately, the LLMs have not been applied extensively for CB detection. In our paper, we explored the use of these models for cyberbullying (CB) detection. We have prepared a new dataset (D2) from existing studies (Formspring and Twitter). Our experimental results for dataset D1 and D2 showed that RoBERTa outperformed other models.

• Sentiment Analysis of Cyberbullying Data in Social Media [0.0]
  Our work focuses on leveraging deep learning and natural language understanding techniques to detect traces of bullying in social media posts. One approach utilizes BERT embeddings, while the other replaces the embeddings layer with the recently released embeddings API from OpenAI. We conducted a performance comparison between these two approaches to evaluate their effectiveness in sentiment analysis of Formspring Cyberbullying data.

  There are 23 low-resource languages and dialects covered by this paper, including Bangla, Hindi, Dravidian languages and others. In the survey, we identify some of the research gaps of previous studies, which include the lack of reliable definitions of cyberbullying. Based on those proposed suggestions, we collect and release a cyberbullying dataset in the Chittagonian dialect of Bangla.
