Hierarchical Sentiment Analysis Framework for Hate Speech Detection: Implementing Binary and Multiclass Classification Strategy (2411.05819v1)

Abstract: A significant challenge in automating hate speech detection on social media is distinguishing hate speech from regular and offensive language. These identify an essential category of content that web filters seek to remove. Only automated methods can manage this volume of daily data. To solve this problem, the community of Natural Language Processing is currently investigating different ways of hate speech detection. In addition to those, previous approaches (e.g., Convolutional Neural Networks, multi-channel BERT models, and lexical detection) have always achieved low precision without carefully treating other related tasks like sentiment analysis and emotion classification. They still like to group all messages with specific words in them as hate speech simply because those terms often appear alongside hateful rhetoric. In this research, our paper presented the hate speech text classification system model drawn upon deep learning and machine learning. In this paper, we propose a new multitask model integrated with shared emotional representations to detect hate speech across the English language. The Transformer-based model we used from Hugging Face and sentiment analysis helped us prevent false positives. Conclusion. We conclude that utilizing sentiment analysis and a Transformer-based trained model considerably improves hate speech detection across multiple datasets.
