Abstract

Cyberbullying poses a digital threat to society. In this survey, we explain what cyberbullying is and its various forms. We focus on social media platforms and instant messaging apps that are susceptible to cyberbullying, discussing how we can identify such behavior in these spaces. Moving on, we conduct a systematic review of publicly available datasets in different languages, exploring techniques for data preprocessing, feature representation, and methodologies used in textual analysis for cyberbullying detection. We specifically look at natural language-based and platform-specific preprocessing methods. We also cover popular feature representation techniques like sentiment analysis, user information, text summarization, symbols, images, and word embedding for detecting cyberbullying. Next, we categorize existing techniques, including machine learning and neural networks, highlighting research gaps. Additionally, we discuss the challenges associated with current datasets and methods. This survey aims to provide early researchers with insights into cyberbullying literature and guide them in exploring potential research directions.
