RB_BG_MHA: A RoBERTa-Based Model with Bi-GRU and Multi-Head Attention for Chinese Offensive Language Detection in Social Media

Offensive language in social media affects the social experience of individuals and groups and hurts social harmony and moral values. Therefore, in recent years, the problem of offensive language detection has attracted the attention of many researchers. However, the primary research currently focuses on detecting English offensive language, while few studies on the Chinese language exist. In this paper, we propose an innovative approach to detect Chinese offensive language. First, unlike previous approaches, we utilized both RoBERTa’s sentence-level and word-level embedding, combining the sentence embedding and word embedding of RoBERTa’s model, bidirectional GRU, and multi-head self-attention mechanism. This feature fusion allows the model to consider sentence-level and word-level semantic information at the same time so as to capture the semantic information of Chinese text more comprehensively. Second, by concatenating the output results of multi-head attention with RoBERTa’s sentence embedding, we achieved an efficient fusion of local and global information and improved the representation ability of the model. The experiments showed that the proposed model achieved 82.931% accuracy and 82.842% F1-score in Chinese offensive language detection tasks, delivering high performance and broad application potential.

Offensive-Language Detection on Multi-Semantic Fusion Based on Data Augmentation

The rapid identification of offensive language in social media is of great significance for preventing viral spread and reducing the spread of malicious information, such as cyberbullying and content related to self-harm. In existing research, the public datasets of offensive language are small; the label quality is uneven; and the performance of the pre-trained models is not satisfactory. To overcome these problems, we proposed a multi-semantic fusion model based on data augmentation (MSF). Data augmentation was carried out by back translation so that it reduced the impact of too-small datasets on performance. At the same time, we used a novel fusion mechanism that combines word-level semantic features and n-grams character features. The experimental results on the two datasets showed that the model proposed in this study can effectively extract the semantic information of offensive language and achieve state-of-the-art performance on both datasets.

Could a Conversational AI Identify Offensive Language?

In recent years, we have seen a wide use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in the Internet and everywhere. Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning are important sub-fields of AI that have made Chatbots and Conversational AI applications possible. Those algorithms are built based on historical data in order to create language models, however historical data could be intrinsically discriminatory. This article investigates whether a Conversational AI could identify offensive language and it will show how large language models often produce quite a bit of unethical behavior because of bias in the historical data. Our low-level proof-of-concept will present the challenges to detect offensive language in social media and it will discuss some steps to propitiate strong results in the detection of offensive language and unethical behavior using a Conversational AI.

Auto-Off ID: Automatic Detection of Offensive Language in Social Media

As the popularity of social media grows, computer-mediated anonymity allows users to engage in activities that they would not do in real life. This makes users vulnerable to abuse through Internet platforms. Due to the enormous number of social media data, it is not possible to manually filter out the overflow of abusive content in online communities and social networking sites. The research work proposes a multi-level classification model that deploys various machine and deep learning models to effectively identify offensive content in a tweet. The proposed Auto-Off ID system is designed to build a system that classifies tweets as offensive or non-offensive; filters out and classifies offensive tweets as either targeted or non-targeted; filters out targeted tweets and identify mentions of individuals and organizations who have been bullied. The study is supported by the text analysis features with lexicon features using LIWC, POS tags for primary and secondary users, Twitter Tag Scores (TTS). This system is evaluated using a diverse choice of machine learning and deep learning models from which it is proved that C-LSTM outperform with an accuracy of 91.72% for offensive language identification; LDA + Logistic Regression training with SVM accuracy of 90.87% for offensive tweet classification.

Identifying and Detecting Offensive Language in Social Media

The utilization of the social media destinations is developing quickly to interface with the networks and to share the thoughts among others. It might happen that a large portion of the general population disdain the thoughts of others individual perspectives and utilize their posts. Because of these hostile terms, numerous individuals particularly youth and young people endeavor to embrace which may fundamentally influence the others individual are honest personalities. As hostile terms progressively use by the general population in profoundly way, it is hard to discover or characterize such hostile terms in genuine day-to-day life. To defeat from this issue, the proposed system dissects the offensive words and can group the hostile sentence on a specific topic dialog utilizing the SVM as managed arrangement in the information mining. The proposed system additionally can locate the potential client by methods for which the hostile language spread among others and characterize the proportional analysis of SVM with Naive Bayes procedure. The proposed structure goes about as a screening instrument that cautions the customer about such messages.
