In recent years, monitoring hate speech and offensive language on social media platforms has become paramount due to its widespread usage among all age groups, races, and ethnicities. Consequently, there have been substantial research efforts towards automated detection of such content using Natural Language Processing (NLP). While successfully filtering textual data, no research has focused on detecting hateful content in multimedia data. With increased ease of data storage and the exponential growth of social media platforms, multimedia content proliferates the internet as much as text data. Nevertheless, it escapes the automatic filtering systems. Hate speech and offensiveness can be detected in multimedia primarily via three modalities, i.e., visual, acoustic, and verbal. Our preliminary study concluded that the most essential features in classifying hate speech would be the speaker's emotional state and its influence on the spoken words, therefore limiting our current research to these modalities. This paper proposes the first multimodal deep learning framework to combine the auditory features representing emotion and the semantic features to detect hateful content. Our results demonstrate that incorporating emotional attributes leads to significant improvement over text-based models in detecting hateful multimedia content. This paper also presents a new Hate Speech Detection Video Dataset (HSDVD) collected for the purpose of multimodal learning as no such dataset exists today.
