• Title: Multi-Stage Training for Abusive Comment Detection in Indic Languages
• Abstract summary: We use a language-based preprocessing and an ensemble of several models and analyze their performance of abusive comment detection.<n>We propose a pipeline that minimizes the false-positive rate (marking non-abusive as abusive) so that these systems can detect abusive comments without undermining the freedom of expression.

• Abstract: In recent years social media has become an increasingly popular tool for communication. People use it to share their ideas, exchange information, and discuss thoughts. Given its prevalence and widespread reach, social media must remain a safe space for people. Content generated on social media can be abusive and it has become increasingly important to detect such content. In this paper, we use a language-based preprocessing and an ensemble of several models and analyze their performance of abusive comment detection. Through extensive experimentation, we propose a pipeline that minimizes the false-positive rate (marking non-abusive as abusive) so that these systems can detect abusive comments without undermining the freedom of expression.

  We look at four types of features, namely text, text metadata, tweet metadata, and account features.<n>This helps us understand the extent to which the user or the content helps predict the number of abusive replies.<n>One of our objectives is to determine the extent to which the volume of abusive replies that a tweet will get are motivated by the content of the tweet or by the identity of the user posting it.

  We study the first NLP study dedicated to detecting norm violations in conversations on live-streaming platforms. We define norm violation categories in live-stream chats and annotate 4,583 moderated comments from Twitch. Our results show that appropriate contextual information can boost moderation performance by 35%.

  This paper presents an efficient semantic pipeline to study depression severity in individuals based on their social media writings. We use test user sentences for producing semantic rankings over an index of representative training sentences corresponding to depressive symptoms and severity levels. We evaluate our methods on two Reddit-based benchmarks, achieving 30% improvement over state of the art in terms of measuring depression severity.

  We introduce the concept of policy-aware abuse detection, abandoning the unrealistic expectation that systems can reliably learn which phenomena constitute abuse from inspecting the data alone. We show how architectures for intent classification and slot filling can be used for abuse detection, while providing a rationale for model decisions.

Our paper highlights how community context can improve classification outcomes in abusive language detection.

  We analyze two social media that enforced opposite moderation methods, Twitter and Gab, to assess the interplay between news consumption and content regulation. Our results show that the presence of moderation pursued by Twitter produces a significant reduction of questionable content. The lack of clear regulation on Gab results in the tendency of the user to engage with both types of content, showing a slight preference for the questionable ones which may account for a dissing/endorsement behavior.

  We argue that it is critical to understand what user attributes potentially cause users to share fake news. In fake news dissemination, confounders can be characterized by fake news sharing behavior that inherently relates to user attributes and online activities. We propose a principled approach to alleviating selection bias in fake news dissemination.
