Predicting the Type and Target of Offensive Posts in Social Media

Zampieri, Marcos, Malmasi, Shervin, Nakov, Preslav et al.

Understand

As offensive content has become pervasive in social media, there has been much research in identifying potentially offensive messages.

  • However, previous work on this topic did not consider the problem as a whole, but rather focused on detecting very specific types of offensive content, e.g., hate speech, cyberbulling, or cyber-aggression.
  • In contrast, here we target several different kinds of offensive content.
  • In particular, we model the task hierarchically, identifying the type and the target of offensive messages in social media.
