SemEval-2019 Task 6: Identifying and Categorizing Offensive Language in Social Media (OffensEval)

The results and the main findings of SemEval-2019 Task 6 on Identifying and Categorizing Offensive Language in Social Media (OffensEval), based on a new dataset, contain over 14,000 English tweets, are presented.

Pars-OFF: A Benchmark for Offensive Language Detection on Farsi Social Media

Pars-OFF is presented, a three-layered annotated corpus for offensive language detection in Farsi to fill the existing gap and the performance of the traditional machine learning approaches and Transformer based models over the Pars-OFF dataset is reported.

Amsqr at SemEval-2020 Task 12: Offensive Language Detection Using Neural Networks and Anti-adversarial Features

This paper describes a method and system to solve the problem of detecting offensive language in social media using anti-adversarial features using an stacked ensemble of neural networks fine-tuned on the OLID dataset and additional external sources.

OffensEval 2023: Offensive language identification in the age of Large Language Models

The results show that while some LMMs such as Flan-T5 achieve competitive performance, in general LLMs lag behind the best OffensEval systems.

AStarTwice at SemEval-2021 Task 5: Toxic Span Detection Using RoBERTa-CRF, Domain Specific Pre-Training and Self-Training

This paper pre-trained RoBERTa on Civil Comments dataset, enabling it to create better contextual representation for this task, and employed the semi-supervised learning technique of self-training, which allowed us to extend the authors' training dataset.

Neural Word Decomposition Models for Abusive Language Detection

This work analyzes the effectiveness of each of the above techniques, compare and contrast various word decomposition techniques when used in combination with others, and experiment with recent advances of finetuning pretrained language models, and demonstrates their robustness to domain shift.

Offensive Language Detection with BERT-based models, By Customizing Attention Probabilities

This paper's principal focus is to suggest a methodology to enhance the performance of the BERT-based models on the `Offensive Language Detection' task by changing the `Attention Mask' input to create more efficacious word embeddings.

Challenges in discriminating profanity from hate speech

Analysis of the results reveals that discriminating hate speech and profanity is not a simple task, which may require features that capture a deeper understanding of the text not always possible with surface -grams.

Predicting the Type and Target of Offensive Posts in Social Media

The Offensive Language Identification Dataset (OLID), a new dataset with tweets annotated for offensive content using a fine-grained three-layer annotation scheme, is complied and made publicly available.

Deep Learning for Hate Speech Detection in Tweets

These experiments on a benchmark dataset of 16K annotated tweets show that such deep learning methods outperform state-of-the-art char/word n-gram methods by ~18 F1 points.

Cyberbullying Detection Task: the EBSI-LIA-UNAM System (ELU) at COLING’18 TRAC-1

This study aims to assess the ability that both classical and state-of-the-art vector space modeling methods provide to well known learning machines to identify aggression levels in social network cyberbullying.

Benchmarking Aggression Identification in Social Media

The Shared Task on Aggression Identification organised as part of the First Workshop on Trolling, Aggression and Cyberbullying (TRAC - 1) at COLING 2018 was to develop a classifier that could discriminate between Overtly Aggression, Covertly Aggressive, and Non-aggressive texts.

Hate Speech Detection with Comment Embeddings

This work proposes to learn distributed low-dimensional representations of comments using recently proposed neural language models, that can then be fed as inputs to a classification algorithm, resulting in highly efficient and effective hate speech detectors.

Cyber Hate Speech on Twitter: An Application of Machine Classification and Statistical Modeling for Policy and Decision Making

It is demonstrated how the results of the classifier can be robustly utilized in a statistical model used to forecast the likely spread of cyber hate in a sample of Twitter data.

Modeling the Detection of Textual Cyberbullying

This work decomposes the overall detection problem into detection of sensitive topics, lending itself into text classification sub-problems and shows that the detection of textual cyberbullying can be tackled by building individual topic-sensitive classifiers.

Locate the Hate: Detecting Tweets against Blacks

A supervised machine learning approach is applied, employing inexpensively acquired labeled data from diverse Twitter accounts to learn a binary classifier for the labels “racist” and “nonracist", which has a 76% average accuracy on individual tweets, suggesting that with further improvements, this work can contribute data on the sources of anti-black hate speech.
