Challenge: Existing methods that focus on a single tweet as input are likely to yield high false positive and negative rates.
Approach: They propose a model that leverages intra-user and inter-user representation learning to improve hate speech detection on Twitter by suppressing the noise in a single Tweet.
Outcome: The proposed model significantly improves the f-score of a strong bidirectional LSTM model by 10.1%.

Improving Hate Speech Detection by Fusing Textual and User Interaction Representations in Online Communities (2026.acl-industry)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing studies on toxic content in online communities are limited by the scarcity of data that align textual content with comprehensive social interactions.
Approach: They propose a user-aware hate speech detection framework that effectively fuses textual semantics with social interaction representations to provide pragmatic context for disambiguation.
Outcome: The proposed framework outperforms strong text-only baselines by over 3.6%, validating the critical role of social context in enhancing detection accuracy.
Directions for NLP Practices Applied to Online Hate Speech Detection (2022.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing approaches to address hate speech in online spaces have relied on conventions and practices from NLP.
Approach: They argue that many conventions in NLP are poorly suited for the problem and encourage researchers to develop methods that are more appropriate for the task.
Outcome: The proposed methods are poorly suited for the problem and should be adapted to address the propagation of online harms.
SharedCon: Implicit Hate Speech Detection using Shared Semantics (2024.findings-acl)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Recent studies suggest that classifying hateful posts in a binary manner may not address nuanced task of detecting implicit hate speech.
Approach: They propose a contrastive learning approach that leverages shared semantics among data to detect implicit hate speech.
Outcome: The proposed approach is based on a clustering-based contrastive learning approach with human-written implications or machine-generated augmented data.
