English offensive text detection using CNN based Bi-GRU model
This addresses the need for automated content moderation on platforms like Facebook and Twitter to filter hate speech and abusive language, though it appears incremental in method.
The paper tackles the problem of detecting offensive text on social media by proposing a Bi-GRU-CNN model, which outperforms existing models in classification accuracy.
Over the years, the number of users of social media has increased drastically. People frequently share their thoughts through social platforms, and this leads to an increase in hate content. In this virtual community, individuals share their views, express their feelings, and post photos, videos, blogs, and more. Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter provide platforms to share vast amounts of content with a single click. However, these platforms do not impose restrictions on the uploaded content, which may include abusive language and explicit images unsuitable for social media. To resolve this issue, a new idea must be implemented to divide the inappropriate content. Numerous studies have been done to automate the process. In this paper, we propose a new Bi-GRU-CNN model to classify whether the text is offensive or not. The combination of the Bi-GRU and CNN models outperforms the existing model.
