Data Expansion using Back Translation and Paraphrasing for Hate Speech Detection

With proliferation of user generated contents in social media platforms, establishing mechanisms to automatically identify toxic and abusive content becomes a prime concern for regulators, researchers, and society. Keeping the balance between freedom of speech and respecting each other dignity is a major concern of social media platform regulators. Although, automatic detection of offensive content using deep learning approaches seems to provide encouraging results, training deep learning-based models requires large amounts of high-quality labeled data, which is often missing. In this regard, we present in this paper a new deep learning-based method that fuses a Back Translation method, and a Paraphrasing technique for data augmentation. Our pipeline investigates different word-embedding-based architectures for classification of hate speech. The back translation technique relies on an encoder-decoder architecture pre-trained on a large corpus and mostly used for machine translation. In addition, paraphrasing exploits the transformer model and the mixture of experts to generate diverse paraphrases. Finally, LSTM, and CNN are compared to seek enhanced classification results. We evaluate our proposal on five publicly available datasets; namely, AskFm corpus, Formspring dataset, Warner and Waseem dataset, Olid, and Wikipedia toxic comments dataset. The performance of the proposal together with comparison to some related state-of-art results demonstrate the effectiveness and soundness of our proposal.
