Deep Learning for Hate Speech Detection in TweetsAuthors: Pinkesh Badjatiya,Shashank Gupta,Manish Gupta,Vasudeva Varma Conference: 26th International World Wide Web Conference, 2017 (WWW-2017 2017) Location Perth, Western Australia Date: 2017-04-03 Report no: IIIT/TR/2017/74 AbstractHate speech detection on Twitter is critical for applications like controversial event extraction, building AI chatterbots, content recommendation, and sentiment analysis. We define this task as being able to classify a tweet as racist, sexist or neither. The complexity of the natural language constructs makes this task very challenging. We perform extensive experiments with multiple deep learning architectures to learn semantic word embeddings to handle this complexity. Our experiments on a benchmark dataset of 16K annotated tweets show that such deep learning methods outper form state-of-the-art char/word n-gram methods by ∼18 F1 points.
