• Title: Identity-related Speech Suppression in Generative AI Content Moderation
• Authors: Oghenefejiro Isaacs Anigboro, Charlie M. Crawford, Danaë Metaxa, Sorelle A. Friedler,
• Abstract summary: Generative AI systems now use such filters to keep undesired generated content from being created by or shown to users. In this paper, we define and introduce measures of speech suppression, focusing on speech related to different identity groups incorrectly filtered by a range of content moderation APIs. We find that identity-related speech is more likely to be incorrectly filtered than other speech except in the cases of a few non-marginalized groups.

• Abstract: Automated content moderation has long been used to help identify and filter undesired user-generated content online. Generative AI systems now use such filters to keep undesired generated content from being created by or shown to users. From classrooms to Hollywood, as generative AI is increasingly used for creative or expressive text generation, whose stories will these technologies allow to be told, and whose will they suppress? In this paper, we define and introduce measures of speech suppression, focusing on speech related to different identity groups incorrectly filtered by a range of content moderation APIs. Using both short-form, user-generated datasets traditional in content moderation and longer generative AI-focused data, including two datasets we introduce in this work, we create a benchmark for measurement of speech suppression for nine identity groups. Across one traditional and four generative AI-focused automated content moderation services tested, we find that identity-related speech is more likely to be incorrectly suppressed than other speech except in the cases of a few non-marginalized groups. Additionally, we find differences between APIs in their abilities to correctly moderate generative AI content.

• A Target-Aware Analysis of Data Augmentation for Hate Speech Detection [3.858155067958448]
  Hate speech is one of the main threats posed by the widespread use of social networks. We investigate the possibility of augmenting existing data with generative language models, reducing target imbalance. For some hate categories such as origin, religion, and disability, hate speech classification using augmented data for training improves by more than 10% F1 over the no augmentation baseline.

The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) exacerbates this issue by enabling malicious actors to generate misinformation at an unprecedented scale. We present a novel taxonomy for characterizing election-related claims.

  We present a paraphrase generation model (DIPPER) that can paraphrase paragraphs, condition on surrounding context, and control lexical diversity and content reordering. Using DIPPER to paraphrase text generated by three large language models (including GPT3.5-davinci-003) successfully evades several detectors, including watermarking. We introduce a simple defense that relies on retrieving semantically-similar generations and must be maintained by a language model API provider.

  Existing works on hate speech and offensive language detection produce promising results based on pre-trained transformer models. This paper addresses a multi-task joint learning approach which combines external emotional features extracted from another corpora. Our findings demonstrate that emotional knowledge helps to more reliably identify hate speech and offensive language across datasets.

  We propose an attribute-aligned learning strategy to derive speech representation that can flexibly address these issues by attribute-selection mechanism. Specifically, we propose a layered-representation variational autoencoder (LR-VAE), which factorizes speech representation into attribute-sensitive nodes. Our proposed method achieves competitive performances on identity-free SER and a better performance on emotionless SV.
