| Challenge: | Abusive language detection requires commonsense reasoning, world knowledge and linguistic nuances that evolve over time. |
| Approach: | They propose a knowledge-guided version of Llama-2 instruction fine-tuned for multi-class abusive language detection and explanation generation that mitigates bias and generates explanations that are relevant to the text and coherent with human reasoning. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model mitigates bias and generates explanations that are relevant to the text and coherent with human reasoning, with an average 48.76% better alignment with human judgment. |
