CRYPTEXT: Database and Interactive Toolkit of Human-Written Text Perturbations in the Wild

Understand

User-generated textual contents on the Internet are often noisy, erroneous, and not in correct forms in grammar.

• In fact, some online users choose to express their opinions online through carefully perturbed texts, especially in controversial topics (e.g., politics, vaccine mandate) or abusive contexts (e.g., cyberbullying, hate-speech).
• However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no framework that explores these online ``human-written" perturbations (as opposed to algorithm-generated perturbations).
• Therefore, we introduce an interactive system called CRYPTEXT.
