Cyberbullying Governance on Social Media: A Unified Framework from Content Identification to InterventionYiting Huang, Wenting Zhu, Zekun Wang et al.
The proliferation of social media platforms and online communities has inadvertently catalyzed the spread of cyberbullying, hate speech, and other forms of online toxicity, making the effective governance of such harm a critical societal and computational challenge. While significant strides have been made in automating content moderation, existing research predominantly treats cyberbullying governance as passive, isolated detection at the post level. This reductionist view overlooks the continuous behavioral dynamics of users, the structural diffusion of toxic events, and the critical need for proactive mitigation. To bridge these gaps, this paper proposes a unified full-lifecycle governance framework that shifts the paradigm of cyberbullying governance from isolated static detection toward integrated, continuous, and proactive moderation. Drawing on cyberbullying research and adjacent fields, we systematically synthesize the state-of-the-art literature across four interconnected stages: (1) Content Identification, (2) User and Behavior Modeling, (3) Diffusion Dynamics and Early Warning, and (4) Intervention and Governance. Furthermore, we review available datasets and evaluation practices, and discuss emerging challenges including multimodality, explainability, algorithmic fairness, and the dual-use risks of generative AI, providing a roadmap for future research toward a safer and more resilient digital ecosystem.

ClinKD: Cross-Modal Clinical Knowledge Distiller For Multi-Task Medical ImagesHongyu Ge, Longkun Hao, Zihui Xu et al.
Medical Visual Question Answering (Med-VQA) represents a critical and challenging subtask within the general VQA domain. Despite significant advancements in general VQA, multimodal large language models (MLLMs) still exhibit substantial limitations when handling multi-task VQA scenarios. These limitations manifest through erroneous spatial localization and misinterpretation of medical images, which primarily arise from two fundamental issues: inadequate image-text alignment and insufficient domain-specified knowledge for medical applications. To address these issues, we introduce the Cross-Modal Clinical Knowledge Distiller (ClinKD), an innovative framework designed to enhance image-text alignment and establish more effective medical knowledge transformation mechanisms, which enables MLLMs to perform better even when lacking prior medical knowledge. Our extensive experimental evaluations demonstrate that the ClinKD achieves state-of-the-art performance on several datasets which are challenging for Med-VQA task. The results indicate that our approach not only significantly improves image-text alignment but also effectively enables MLLMs to adapt to the medical knowledge. The source code for ClinKD is available at: https://github.com/overloadedHenry/ClinKD.

SCCD: A Session-based Dataset for Chinese Cyberbullying DetectionQingpo Yang, Yakai Chen, Zihui Xu et al.
The rampant spread of cyberbullying content poses a growing threat to societal well-being. However, research on cyberbullying detection in Chinese remains underdeveloped, primarily due to the lack of comprehensive and reliable datasets. Notably, no existing Chinese dataset is specifically tailored for cyberbullying detection. Moreover, while comments play a crucial role within sessions, current session-based datasets often lack detailed, fine-grained annotations at the comment level. To address these limitations, we present a novel Chinese cyber-bullying dataset, termed SCCD, which consists of 677 session-level samples sourced from a major social media platform Weibo. Moreover, each comment within the sessions is annotated with fine-grained labels rather than conventional binary class labels. Empirically, we evaluate the performance of various baseline methods on SCCD, highlighting the challenges for effective Chinese cyberbullying detection.
