Challenge: Existing studies on text-based hate speech detection focus on video-based approaches . however, hateful content remains a persistent challenge due to the vast amount of data generated every day.
Approach: They propose a novel two-stage contrastive learning framework for hate speech detection in videos . they train modality-specific encoders for audio, text, and image using contrastive loss .
Outcome: The proposed framework is based on two datasets, ImpliHateVid and HateMM datasets.

Challenge: Imlicit hate content has unusual syntax, polysemic words, and fewer markers of prejudice, e.g., slurs . multimodal content is harder to detect than unimodal content, such as memes .
Approach: They evaluate the role of semantic and multimodal context for detecting implicit and explicit hate . they find that all models perform better on content with full annotator agreement .
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms other models on implicit and explicit hate detection tasks because of its lower propensity towards false positives.
