• Abstract: The advent of social media transformed interpersonal communication and information consumption processes. This digital landscape accommodates user intentions, also resulting in an increase of offensive language and harmful behavior. Concurrently, social media platforms collect vast datasets comprising user-generated content and behavioral information. These datasets are instrumental for platforms deploying machine learning and data-driven strategies, facilitating customer insights and countermeasures against social manipulation mechanisms like disinformation and offensive content. Nevertheless, the availability of such datasets, along with the application of various machine learning techniques, to researchers and practitioners, for specific social media platforms regarding particular events, is limited. In particular for TikTok, which offers unique tools for personalized content creation and sharing, the existing body of knowledge would benefit from having diverse comprehensive datasets and associated data analytics solutions on offensive content. While efforts from social media platforms, research, and practitioner communities are seen on this behalf, such content continues to proliferate. This translates to an essential need to make datasets publicly available and build corresponding intelligent solutions. On this behalf, this research undertakes the collection and analysis of TikTok data containing offensive content, building a series of machine learning and deep learning models for offensive content detection. This is done aiming at answering the following research question: "How to develop a series of computational models to detect offensive content on TikTok?". To this end, a Data Science methodological approach is considered, 120.423 TikTok comments are collected, and on a balanced, binary classification approach, F1 score performance results of 0.863 is obtained.

• Capturing Pertinent Symbolic Features for Enhanced Content-Based Misinformation Detection [0.0]
  The detection of misleading content presents a significant hurdle due to its extreme linguistic and domain variability. This paper analyzes the linguistic attributes that characterize this phenomenon and how representative of such features some of the most popular misinformation datasets are. We demonstrate that the appropriate use of pertinent symbolic knowledge in combination with neural language models is helpful in detecting misleading content.

  This paper investigates the effect of scaling datasets on hateful content through a comparative audit of two datasets: LAION-400M and LAION-2B. We found that hate content increased by nearly 12% with dataset scale, measured both qualitatively and quantitatively. We also found that filtering dataset contents based on Not Safe For Work (NSFW) values calculated based on images alone does not exclude all the harmful content in alt-text.
