• Abstract: The widespread use of social media necessitates reliable and efficient detection of offensive content to mitigate harmful effects. Although sophisticated models perform well on individual datasets, they often fail to generalize due to varying definitions and labeling of "offensive content." In this paper, we introduce HateCOT, an English dataset with over 52,000 samples from diverse sources, featuring explanations generated by GPT-3.5Turbo and curated by humans. We demonstrate that pretraining on HateCOT significantly enhances the performance of open-source Large Language Models on three benchmark datasets for offensive content detection in both zero-shot and few-shot settings, despite differences in domain and task. Additionally, HateCOT facilitates effective K-shot fine-tuning of LLMs with limited data and improves the quality of their explanations, as confirmed by our human evaluation.

  We present a methodology for creating nine Twitter datasets to examine the generative capabilities of four prominent large language models (LLMs) These datasets encompass four censored and five uncensored model configurations, including 7B and 8B parameter base-instruction models of the three open-source LLMs. Our evaluation demonstrates that "uncensored" models significantly undermine the effectiveness of automated detection methods.

Our approach employ a bi-encoder model to represent both data and natural language in a vocabulary space, enabling the model to distinguish intrinsic dimensions that capture characteristics within data through its natural language counterpart, thus disentanglement.
