Challenge: Existing studies on how to automatically detect abusive short texts are gaining interest in the natural language processing community.
Approach: They propose to use a contextual word embedding model to automatically detect abusive short texts for Spanish language.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms classical methods in the detection of abusive short texts for the spanish language.

Humans Need Context, What about Machines? Investigating Conversational Context in Abusive Language Detection (2024.lrec-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: In this paper, we examine the role of conversational context in abusive language detection . prior studies have ignored the contextual nature of abusive language, ignoring this aspect . toxicity, hate speech, harmful stereotypes are among the forms of harmful language .
Approach: They propose to use conversational context to analyze abusive language detection using two methods . they use "abusive language" as an umbrella term to refer to various forms of harmful language .
Outcome: The proposed approach is based on two datasets in English and a new dataset of French tweets annotated for hate speech and stereotypes.
